Get off sled, as it were, in heavy rainfall? (6)
I believe the answer is:
deluge
'heavy rainfall?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'get off sled as it were' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'sled' could be 'luge' (luging is a kind of sledding) and 'luge' is present in the answer.
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'd' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for deluge that I've seen before include "A heavy fall of rain (6)" , "Torrential rain" , "Severe flood" , "Huge downpour" , "Major flood" .)
