I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'respond amiably' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'trick hamlet?' is the wordplay.
'trick' becomes 'take in' (I've seen this in another clue).
'hamlet?' becomes 'goodpart' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'takein'+'goodpart'='TAKE IN GOOD PART'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for take in good part that I've seen before include "not be offended" , "Respond humorously to" , "accept amiably" , "Respond amiably" , "Show no resentment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
