What's written about female in the next message (4)
I believe the answer is:
text
'message' is the definition.
(text message)
'what's written about female in the next' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'female' could be 'ex' (ex is a kind of female) and 'ex' is present in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
A single letter 't' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for text that I've seen before include "Written material for study" , "Document to be studied" , "Written communication" , "Writing or printing" , "electronic message" .)
