What does this clue mean?
The sound /juː/, as in the words "cube" and "mute". (The presence of a long vowel is often signaled in spelling by a silent e that follows it, as in the examples here, or by the fact that a subsequent consonant is single rather than doubled, as for example in cubing versus cubbing).
