Find the answer to false loves (5)
I believe the answer is:
solve
'find the answer to' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'false loves' is the wordplay.
'false' indicates an anagram.
'loves' with letters rearranged gives 'SOLVE'.
(Other definitions for solve that I've seen before include "Find the answer to this clue, for instance" , "Work out (a clue)" , "Settle" , "as you're trying to do now" , "Get answer to (a clue)" .)
