Solving clues is no different in privacy (9)
I believe the answer is:
seclusion
'privacy' is the definition.
(I know that privacy can be written as seclusion)
'solving clues is no different' is the wordplay.
'solving' indicates anagramming the letters (anagrams are puzzles).
'different' is an anagram indicator (letters placed in a different order).
'clues' with letters rearranged gives 'seclu'.
'is'+'no'='isno'
'isno' is an anagram of 'sion'.
'seclu'+'sion'='SECLUSION'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for seclusion that I've seen before include "Privacy; solitude" , "retirement" .)
