She sounds a bit faint (3)
I believe the answer is:
fay
'she' is the definition.
'sounds a bit faint' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'fy' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
