Showed amusement when badly misled (6)
I believe the answer is:
smiled
'showed amusement' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'badly misled' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates an anagram (letters in the wrong order).
'misled' with letters rearranged gives 'SMILED'.
'when' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for smiled that I've seen before include "drank whisky" , "Assumed facial expression indicating pleasure" , "Beamed" , "Looked happy" , "Showed pleasure" .)
