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' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'produced' mean this).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'top' indicates taking the first letters (in a down clue, the first letter is top).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'tail' becomes 'e' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The first 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" .)
