She has very little money (5)
I believe the answer is:
penny
'little money' is the definition.
(small amount of money)
'she has very' is the wordplay.
'she' becomes 'Pen'.
'has very' becomes 'ny' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pen'+'ny'='PENNY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for penny that I've seen before include "Copper coin" , "Little bit of 18" , "Girl" , "Coin - girl's name" , "Smallest UK coin" .)
