Which length description are you looking for?:

5

diddle

This clue is a double definition.

(Other definitions for diddle that I've seen before include "Slang for cheat or swindle - nearly fiddle" , "Con - do - lidded (anag)" , "Fleece" , "Did, and led out to cheat" , "Slangily cheat or swindle" .)
