Make allusion in freer style (5)
I believe the answer is:
refer
'make allusion' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'freer style' is the wordplay.
'style' indicates an anagram (style can mean to shape or design).
'freer' with letters rearranged gives 'REFER'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for refer that I've seen before include "Hand over for decision" , "Allude (to something)" , "Make allusion, or turn to for information" , "Direct elsewhere" , "guide" .)
