Inclined to have hard time (5)
I believe the answer is:
leant
'inclined' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'hard time' is the wordplay.
'hard' becomes 'lean' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'time' becomes 't'.
'lean'+'t'='LEANT'
'to have' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leant that I've seen before include "bent over" , "Rested sideways (on something)" , "Tipped" , "Tilted" , "Advanced" .)
