She’s loud yet may be dear (5)
I believe the answer is:
freda
'she's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'yet may be dear' is the wordplay.
'yet' becomes 'f' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'may be' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dear' is an anagram of 'reda'.
'f'+'reda'='FREDA'
'loud' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for freda that I've seen before include "woman" , "Girl's name" , "Female name; fared (anag.)" , "Girl" .)
