Ways for a girl to follow (5)
I believe the answer is:
ensue
'follow' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'ways for a girl' is the wordplay.
'ways' becomes 'en' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a girl' becomes 'Sue' (girl's name).
'en'+'sue'='ENSUE'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ensue that I've seen before include "Arise" , "Occur afterwards" , "Happen as consequence or afterward" , "Follow as a consequence" , "Leading directly to" .)
