The girl keeps one to compete with
more weight (7)
Solution
– heavier
A
container clue. See sidebar under the list of popular posts
for more info.
The
definition part of the clue is “with more weight” – and if you have more weight
you are “heavier” – so that is pretty straightforward.
The
rest of the clue has to be picked apart to see how it works.
“The
girl” is represented in the solution by “her”.
Her
“keeps” “one to compete” ie contains something that represents those words.
“one
to compete” firstly “one” is represented by “a” in this case. Sometimes it means “I”. And to “vie” for something is to compete for
it.
So
He + a + vie + r = heavier.
