Number rung, I set out to be enticing (6)
I believe the answer is:
luring
'be enticing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'number rung i set out' is the wordplay.
'number' becomes 'l' (L is an example**).
'set out' is an anagram indicator.
'rung'+'i'='rungi'
'rungi' is an anagram of 'uring'.
'l'+'uring'='LURING'
'to' acts as a link.
(Another definition for luring that I've seen is " Enticing, tempting".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
