Grants the maid’s free time is included in it (6)
I believe the answer is:
admits
'grants the maid's' is the definition.
'admits' can be an answer for 'grants' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'the maid's' bit.
'free time is included in it' is the wordplay.
'free' indicates an anagram.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'included' becomes 'adm' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in it' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
't'+'is'='tis'
'tis' is an anagram of 'its'.
'its' going around 'adm' is 'ADMITS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for admits that I've seen before include "Takes in" , "Does not deny" , "Agrees to the truth of something" , "Owns up or lets in" , "Confesses or allows to enter" .)
