Crossword Genius

She gets directions in Polish (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sheen

'polish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'she gets directions' is the wordplay.
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'directions' becomes 'en' (east and north).
'she'+'en'='SHEEN'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for sheen that I've seen before include "to the west of Putney" , "Superficial brightness" , "Glow" , "brilliance" , "Surface gloss" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
