Little Richard finding this a strain? (4)
I believe the answer is:
rick
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'little richard' is the first definition.
(short for Richard)
'this a strain?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)
'finding' is the link.
(Other definitions for rick that I've seen before include "Straw stack" , "Stack, of hay say" , "Wrench; haystack" , "Stack of hay - pain in the neck" , "result of making hay?" .)
