clever

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

'sensible' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'figures at any time' is the wordplay.
'figures at' becomes 'cl' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'any time' becomes 'ever' (I've seen this in another clue).
'cl'+'ever'='CLEVER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clever that I've seen before include "Bright; smart" , "Brainy, smart" , "Mentally or physically skilful" , "easy to teach?" , "Quick at learning, talented" .)
