How bright the future sounds for her? (5)
I believe the answer is:
rosie
'how bright the' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'future sounds for her?' is the wordplay.
'future sounds' becomes 'ie' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'her?' becomes 'ros'.
'ie' put after 'ros' is 'ROSIE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rosie that I've seen before include "Cider girl" , "Cider with --, novel" , "Female" , "Char" , "cider drinker sounds red" .)
