How the girl at the end of the street can lose weight (4)
I believe the answer is:
diet
'lose weight' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'how the girl at the end of the street' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
'girl' could be 'di' and 'di' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'can' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for diet that I've seen before include "Restricted cheer" , "Restriction of food intake" , "prescribed nourishment?" , "Food - parliament" , "Worms had one" .)
