Tricks into providing tools for the house (6)
I believe the answer is:
hoaxes
'tricks' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Deceptive tricks ' mean 'hoaxes' so perhaps 'tricks' could also mean 'hoaxes')
'tools for the house' is the wordplay.
'tools' becomes 'axes' (axe is a kind of tool).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'the house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
'axes' put after 'ho' is 'HOAXES'.
'into providing' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hoaxes that I've seen before include "Spoofs, shams" , "Malicious deceptions" , "Deceptions or frauds" , "Deceptive tricks" .)
