Crossword Genius

Made regular eleven edgier to some extent (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evened

'made regular' is the definition.
(evening is a kind of making regular)

'eleven edgier to some extent' is the wordplay.
'to some extent' indicates a hidden word.
'EVENED' is hidden in the letters of 'eleven edgier'.

(Other definitions for evened that I've seen before include "Made smooth and regular" , "Levelled" , "Made smooth or equalised" , "Made level" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
