Place gold out in front of early opener (5)
I believe the answer is:
lodge
'place' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'gold out in front of early opener' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'in front of' says to put letters next to each other.
'opener' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'early' is 'e'.
'gold' anagrammed gives 'lodg'.
'lodg'+'e'='LODGE'
(Other definitions for lodge that I've seen before include "Stick" , "Stay (somewhere) temporarily" , "Deposit put down" , "Small house at gates of park or estate" , "Deposit in bank, or beaver's lair" .)
