Levi runs off with article in general (9)
I believe the answer is:
universal
'general' is the definition.
(I know that general can be written as universal)
'levi runs off with article' is the wordplay.
'off with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'levi'+'runs'='leviruns'
'leviruns' mixed up with 'a' gives 'UNIVERSAL'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for universal that I've seen before include "Widespread, worldwide" , "for general viewing" , "wide-ranging and comprehensive" , "Applying throughout the world" , "Film producer" .)
