Naive, “dye” and “die” we confused? (4-4)
I believe the answer is:
wide-eyed
'naive' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'dye and die we confused?' is the wordplay.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'confused?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'confused' mean this).
'dye'+'die'+'we'='dyediewe'
'dyediewe' is an anagram of 'WIDE-EYED'.
(Other definitions for wide-eyed that I've seen before include "Showing great surprise" , "Innocent - believing" , "Inexperienced; showing amazement" .)
