Beaming they take the cash girl's change (12)
I believe the answer is:
searchlights
'beaming they' is the definition.
The definition suggests a plural noun which matches the answer.
'the cash girl's change' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates an anagram.
'the'+'cash'+'girls'='thecashgirls'
'thecashgirls' anagrammed gives 'SEARCHLIGHTS'.
'take' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for searchlights that I've seen is " Sweeping beams".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
