Many thanks, Roslyn251254, I thought of that answer, but cannot parse it.

Close then! ;0)))))

Matakari, Tipple would be the drink, the R comes from 'Red primarily', as the face/first letter, T of tipple, goes. Rippple, outward effect.

PS My copy, in the paper version,  has Matakari's clue.

Saw is RIP, wooden sheet is ply hence ripply

It's very odd that there are two clues, one for the paper and the other (I assume) online...

I have the same clue as Roslyn & herbage.  I've seen editorial mix-ups like this before, but they're rare.  In this case, imo, the online clue is the better one, but it must've been too late to alter for the print version.
