Two ways to try and get access (5)
I believe the answer is:
entry
'access' is the definition.
(I know that entry is a type of access)
'two ways to try' is the wordplay.
'two ways' can mean two substitutions for 'way'.
'way' becomes 'e' (Compass direction - East).
'way' becomes 'n' (Compass direction - North).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'e'+'n'+'try'='ENTRY'
'and get' is the link.
(Other definitions for entry that I've seen before include "Door; appearance" , "List of candidates" , "Opening" , "field" , "Lobby" .)
