To need reshuffle is mean (6)
I believe the answer is:
denote
'mean' is the definition.
(denoting is a kind of meaning)
'to need reshuffle' is the wordplay.
'reshuffle' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to'+'need'='toneed'
'toneed' anagrammed gives 'DENOTE'.
'is' is the link.
(Other definitions for denote that I've seen before include "Indicate, signify" , "Stand as symbol for" , "Mean or signify" , "Designate" , "Point" .)
