Everything points to Lily (5)
I believe the answer is:
allen
'lily' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'everything points' is the wordplay.
'everything' becomes 'all' (all things).
'points' becomes 'en' ().
'all'+'en'='ALLEN'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for allen that I've seen before include "Woody ..., US film maker" , "Woody ... is film director and comic actor" .)
