A French boy with English girl (5)
I believe the answer is:
renee
'girl' is the definition.
'a french boy with english' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'boy' could be 'rene' and 'rene' is present in the answer.
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
