Crossword Genius

Tract in meadow left wild (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leaflet

'tract' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'meadow left wild' is the wordplay.
'meadow' becomes 'lea' (a lea is a grassy area).
'wild' indicates an anagram.
'left' with letters rearranged gives 'flet'.
'lea'+'flet'='LEAFLET'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for leaflet that I've seen before include "Publication on single sheet" , "Distribute small circulars" , "Printed handout" , "Advertising sheet" , "Flier" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
