Learned to be like a lot of sheep? (5)
I believe the answer is:
heard
'learned' is the definition.
('hear' can be a synonym of 'learn')
'like a lot of sheep?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
'lot' could be 'd' and 'd' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'her' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to be' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heard that I've seen before include "Perceived by the ear" , "Was told of" , "Gathered" , "Listened to (sound)" , "Got to know (of)" .)
