Score a point being clever (4)
I believe the answer is:
cute
'clever' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'score a point' is the wordplay.
'score' becomes 'cut' (I've seen this before).
'a point' becomes 'e' (compass point).
'cut'+'e'='CUTE'
'being' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for cute that I've seen before include "Small, delightful" , "Attractive and quaint (4" , "Lovable" , "winning" , "Taking" .)
