Steps taken to raise acts? (9)
I believe the answer is:
staircase
'steps' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'taken to raise acts?' is the wordplay.
'raise acts' anagrams to 'STAIRCASE'.
However, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for staircase that I've seen before include "Way between floors" , "Flight of steps" , "A group of linked canal locks" , "Means of moving from one floor to another" , "Group of joined locks on a canal" .)
