Comments on the clue
1.I'm not really sure furtive is a valid anagram indicator. Even if it were, can't be &Lit as 'silent dance' is not part of the definition
2.Cannot be &lit if word is an adjective and clue requires a noun; I wouldn't consider furtive to be an anagram indicator; For &lit ? not !
3.“Furtive” surely won’t do as an a.i. And &lit??!
