Clever women's group get directions (4)
I believe the answer is:
wise
'clever' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'women's group get directions' is the wordplay.
'women's group' becomes 'wi' (Women's Institute).
'get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'directions' becomes 'se' (I've seen this in other clues).
'wi'+'se'='WISE'
(Other definitions for wise that I've seen before include "Showing sagacity" , "Astute" , "Morecambe partner" , "Prudent" , "Old and knowledgable" .)
