Pass due to ease with which L.P. is played (6)
I believe the answer is:
elapse
'pass' is the definition.
(I know that pass can be written as elapse)
'due to ease with which l p is played' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'l' is present in the answer.
'p' is found in the answer.
'to ease' could be 'ease' and 'ease' is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elapse that I've seen before include "Tick by" , "Passing" , "Pass away - asleep (anag)" , "Go by - pass away" , "Of time, pass by - please" .)
