Has he winning ways at the wedding? (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
best man
'has he winning ways at the wedding?' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'has he winning ways at the' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'he' could be 'man' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'man' is found in the answer.
'ways' could be 'es' (east and south - two directions) and 'es' is present in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'b' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for best man that I've seen before include "Bridegroom's friend" , "Key union facilitator r" , "Groom's friend" , "Supporting male actor at a wedding" , "The groom's right-hand supporter" .)
