Partner of blind men with time for hard work (6)
I believe the answer is:
effort
'hard work' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'partner of blind men with time' is the wordplay.
'partner of blind' becomes 'eff' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'men with' becomes 'or' (I've seen this in other clues).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'eff'+'or'+'t'='EFFORT'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for effort that I've seen before include "Strenuous endeavour" , "An exertion of energy" , "Strain" , "Trouble" , "The use of physical or mental energy" .)
