Is ready for walkies when one entices into mischief (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
leads on
'is' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'ready for walkies when one entices into mischief' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'ready' could be 'on' (if a device is on it is ready for use) and 'on' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'a' (a thing is one thing) and 'a' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'leds' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leads on that I've seen before include "regularly taking tricks" , "How unruly dogs need to be taken" , "Lures (into trouble)" .)
