Hire me to oversee ruse (6)
I believe the answer is:
employ
'hire' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'me to oversee ruse' is the wordplay.
'me' becomes 'em' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'to oversee' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (some letters go over and look down on others).
'ruse' becomes 'ploy' (both can mean a trick or scheme).
'em'+'ploy'='EMPLOY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for employ that I've seen before include "Give work to (someone)" , "Give work to (person)" , "occupation" , "Take on (staff)" , "Occupy" .)
