Reveals solution to quite a few (7)

I believe the answer is:

several

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

'quite a few' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'reveals solution' is the wordplay.
'reveals' can be anagrammed to 'SEVERAL'.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for several that I've seen before include "quite a lot" , "Divers" , "three or four" , "Various, sundry" , "More than one or two" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
