Did she get the bird when performing first? (7)
I believe the answer is:
bridget
'did she get the bird when performing first?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'get the bird when performing first?' is the wordplay.
'when performing' indicates an anagram (the letters move around or 'perform').
'first?' says to put letters next to each other.
'bird' anagrammed gives 'brid'.
'get' put after 'brid' is 'BRIDGET'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bridget that I've seen before include "Miss Jones the diarist" , "Saintly woman" , "Saint" , "Girl" .)
