Lie to schoolgirl doing audition? (9)
I believe the answer is:
misinform
'lie' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'to schoolgirl doing audition?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'to' could be 'for' and 'for' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for misinform that I've seen before include "Provide with incorrect facts" , "Instruct wrongly" , "Give inaccurate info to (someone)" , "Put on the wrong track" , "Deceive" .)
