Intends to find a way (5)
I believe the answer is:
means
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'intends' is the first definition.
('mean' can be a synonym of 'intend')
'a way' is the second definition.
(I know that way can be written as means)
'to find' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for means that I've seen before include "Method - financial resources" , "has significance" , "Intends - capital" , "Signifies" , "Pecuniary resources" .)
