Times added to article about Queen using such means (7)
I believe the answer is:
thereby
'times added' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'article about queen using such means' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'the' (the 'definite article' part of speech).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'queen' becomes 'r' (r is abbreviation regina. e.g. in ER ).
'using' becomes 'by' (I've seen this in other clues).
'such means' becomes 'e' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'r'+'by'='rby'
'rby' placed around 'e' is 'reby'.
'the'+'reby'='THEREBY'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for thereby that I've seen before include "For that reason" , "As a result of that" , "By that means" , "In consequence" , "about that amount" .)
