Clever girl? (3)
I believe the answer is:
eve
'girl?' is the definition.
'clever' is the wordplay.
'EVE' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eve that I've seen before include "Lady of the previous night" , "Girl" , "Mother of Abel" , "Day before a festival" , "She reportedly lived first" .)
