Make it possible to produce a bean with little top and tail (6)
I believe the answer is:
enable
'make it possible' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'produce a bean with little top and tail' is the wordplay.
'produce' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'produced' mean this).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'top' suggests taking the first letters (in a down clue, the first letter is top).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tail' becomes 'e' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The initial letter of 'little' is 'l'.
'bean' anagrammed gives 'enab'.
'enab'+'l'+'e'='ENABLE'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enable that I've seen before include "Provide with means or opportunity" , "Make possible, give the means to do something" , "Give power or capacity to" , "Render capable" , "Empower" .)
