Creates a secret passage (7)
I believe the answer is:
encodes
'creates' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I can't understand how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for encodes that I've seen is " Encrypts".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
