What Observer does with male editors? (5)
I believe the answer is:
heeds
'what observer' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'with male editors?' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'male' becomes 'he' (he refers to a man).
'editors?' becomes 'eds' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'he'+'eds' is 'HEEDS'.
'does' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heeds that I've seen before include "Pays close attention" , "Takes notice of" , "Takes account of" , "Takes to heart" , "Attends to" .)
