Chooses to go to Spithead? (7)
I believe the answer is:
selects
'chooses to go to spithead?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'chooses to go to spithead?' is the wordplay.
'chooses' becomes 'elects' (electing is a kind of choosing).
'to go to' says to put letters next to each other.
'spithead?' becomes 's' (head letter of 'spit').
'elects' after 's' is 'SELECTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for selects that I've seen before include "Chooses" , "Blocks" , "Picks out" .)
