Squirming eel can get entangled (6)

I believe the answer is:

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

'get entangled' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'squirming eel can' is the wordplay.
'squirming' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'eel'+'can'='eelcan'
'eelcan' with letters rearranged gives 'ENLACE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enlace that I've seen before include "Can eel twine together?" , "Entwine, entangle" , "Involve" , "Lee can (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
