Girl at a charity soiree (4)
I believe the answer is:
gala
'charity soiree' is the definition.
'gala' can be an answer for 'soiree' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not sure about the 'charity' bit.
'girl at a' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'gal' ().
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'gal'+'a'='GALA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gala that I've seen before include "Jamboree" , "A show of charity" , "Social occasion with special performances" , "Festival" , "Public party" .)
