Incorrect amount ruefully deposited (6)
I believe the answer is:
untrue
'incorrect' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'amount ruefully deposited' is the wordplay.
'UNTRUE' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for untrue that I've seen before include "Not accurate or veracious" , "Fallacious" , "Spurious" , "disloyal" , "Incorrect or false" .)
