Adapts to shifting tides (5)
I believe the answer is:
edits
'adapts' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'shifting tides' is the wordplay.
'shifting' is an anagram indicator.
'tides' anagrammed gives 'EDITS'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for edits that I've seen before include "Puts together" , "Redacts" , "Tides (anag.)" , "Revises" , "Corrects" .)
