Woman who once lived as a man came from Virginia to a city in Florida (7)
I believe the answer is:
orlando
'a city in florida' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'woman who once lived as a man came from virginia' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found within the answer.
'man' could be 'r' (abbreviation for rook, a chess piece or 'man') and 'r' is located in the answer.
'once' could be 'old' and 'old' is found within the remaining letters.
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orlando that I've seen before include "Shakespeare hero - book by Virginia Woolf" , "place in Florida" , "The city in America" , "V. Woolf novel" , "Floridian city of Disney World" .)
