Time to get faker back on track (5)
I believe the answer is:
trail
'track' is the definition.
(I know that track can be written as trail)
'time to get faker back' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 'ail' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'back' suggests the final letters.
The last letters of 'get faker' are 'tr'.
'ail' after 'tr' is 'TRAIL'.
'on' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trail that I've seen before include "Beaten path; track" , "Drag along the ground" , "Rough path" , "Wake" , "Forest path" .)
