Man heard at disco needs help (8)
I believe the answer is:
guidance
'help' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'man heard at disco' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'man' could be 'dan' and 'dan' is located in the answer.
'heard' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'needs' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for guidance that I've seen before include "Advice, assistance" , "Helpful advice" , "Direction or advice" , "Missile component" , "Leadership, direction" .)
