For about a pound a girl sees part of America (7)
I believe the answer is:
florida
'part of america' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'for about a pound a girl' is the wordplay.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a pound' becomes 'l'.
'a girl' becomes 'ida' ().
'for' enclosing 'l' is 'flor'.
'flor'+'ida'='FLORIDA'
'sees' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for florida that I've seen before include "Member of union" , "SE State of USA" , "SE US state" , "Miami's state" , "Keys here" .)
