When she got her gun, did she have one and nine change? (5)
I believe the answer is:
annie
'when she got her gun did she' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'one and nine change?' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'change?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'change' mean this).
'nine' is an anagram of 'nnie'.
'a'+'nnie'='ANNIE'
'have' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for annie that I've seen before include "Sharpshooter Oakley or musical orphan" , "- Hall, Woody Allen film" , "Musical inspired by comic strip" , "Little Ophan .....; also a musical" , "girl instructed to get gun" .)
