Crossword Genius

Page to blame for yielding (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pliable

'yielding' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'page to blame' is the wordplay.
'page' becomes 'p'.
'to blame' becomes 'liable' (I've seen this before).
'p'+'liable'='PLIABLE'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for pliable that I've seen before include "Easily bent" , "Ductile" , "Flexible" , "Elastic" , "accommodating" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
