Lion god needs time on slope (6)
I believe the answer is:
aslant
'lion god needs' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'time on slope' is the wordplay.
'time on' becomes 'a' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'slope' becomes 'slant' (slant is a kind of slope).
'a'+'slant'='ASLANT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aslant that I've seen before include "Obliquely" , "Athwart" , "At an oblique angle" , "on a slope" , "Not true" .)
