About ten cryptic clues I have for 'sole' (9)
I believe the answer is:
exclusive
'sole' is the definition.
('exclusive' can be a synonym of 'sole')
'about ten cryptic clues i have' is the wordplay.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ten' becomes 'x' ('X' can be a synonym of 'ten').
'cryptic' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'i have' becomes 'ive'.
'clues' anagrammed gives 'eclus'.
'x' placed into 'eclus' is 'exclus'.
'exclus'+'ive'='EXCLUSIVE'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for exclusive that I've seen before include "Select, high-class" , "choice" , "Catering for only the wealthy, not obtainable elsewhere" , "Not divided or shared with others" , "catering for a few customers" .)
