I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'key' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'point made by charles tackling diana maybe over bills' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'point' could be 's' (South) and 's' is present in the answer.
'over' could be 'o' (cricket abbreviation) and 'o' is found within the answer.
'bills' could be 'ads' and 'ads' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
