Time to relax in Hawaii, garland guaranteed (7)
I believe the answer is:
leisure
'time to relax' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'garland guaranteed' is the wordplay.
'garland' becomes 'lei' (synonyms).
'guaranteed' becomes 'sure' (I've seen this in another clue).
'lei'+'sure'='LEISURE'
'in hawaii' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leisure that I've seen before include "may suggest fun and games" , "Use lire (anag)" , "Time to rest and enjoy" , "casual wear" , "State of rest or repose" .)
