Figure to have a great time with a girl (4)
I believe the answer is:
vera
'girl' is the definition.
'figure to have a great time' is the wordplay.
'figure' becomes 'v' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'to have' says to put letters next to each other.
'a great time' becomes 'era' (I've seen this in another clue).
'v'+'era'='VERA'
'with a' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vera that I've seen before include ".. Lynn, aloe ..." , "A girl to rave about" , "Woman" , "Duckworth, Lynn" , "Dame -- Lynn, singer" .)
