Admits there are various ways to love (4)
I believe the answer is:
owns
'admits there' is the definition.
'owns' can be an answer for 'admits' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'there' bit.
'various ways to love' is the wordplay.
'various ways' becomes 'wns' (compass directions).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'wns' after 'o' is 'OWNS'.
'are' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for owns that I've seen before include "Admits possession" , "Confesses" , "Belongs to" , "Possesses" , "Has possession of by right" .)
