Crossword Genius

Time of day for getting level (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evening

This clue is a triple definition!

'time' is the first definition.
(time of day)

'of' acts as a link.

'day' is the second definition.
(evening is a kind of day)

'for' is a link.

'getting level' is the third definition.
(making even or level)

(Other definitions for evening that I've seen before include "somewhat late in the day" , "Pressing - time of day" , "Levelling the score" , "Time of falling light" , "after dark?" .)

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