Change direction and take the right path (5)
I believe the answer is:
track
'path' is the definition.
(I know that path can be written as track)
'change direction and take the right' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates anagramming the letters.
'direction' becomes 'r' (r is abbreviation for right).
'and take' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'right' becomes 'ack' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'r'+'t'='rt'
'rt' with letters rearranged gives 'tr'.
'tr'+'ack'='TRACK'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for track that I've seen before include "Sign that one's passed" , "song off a record" , "Course over which races are run" , "racecourse" , "Part of record" .)
