facile

'it's easy' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'letters in a file' is the wordplay.
'letters' becomes 'ac' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ac' going into 'file' is 'FACILE'.

'to put' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
