Loves to find the answer in a way (5)

I believe the answer is:

solve

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

'answer in a way' is the definition.
'solve' can be an answer for 'answer' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'in a way' bit.

'loves to find' is the wordplay.
'to find' is an anagram indicator.
'loves' with letters rearranged gives 'SOLVE'.

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for solve that I've seen before include "Find the answer or explanation" , "Decipher" , "Unravel (a clue)" , "Find the 3dn to a mystery" , "Settle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
