Gnarled?
Question Author
Sorry 1oxxy, how do you get grassed grom the clue?
Gnarled - rang(called) reversed but not sure about led.
Wild guess
\i/
Question Author
Hi danny, I get the gnar bit but not the led. I am down the track of GNASHED = ground, with when he = ASHE, but the I lose the GNAR bit
Gnasher would fit - as he inside rang reversed.
Gnashed. Called is sang backwards, leaving hed (he'd) from he got.
gnashed?
Not sure about sang = called
thought it might be something military, as in called up, but clutching at straws mostly
Question Author
AD HE inside GNAR is 8 letters, not 7. I also don't think CALL = SING
Sorry Jack-can't count.
sure of you cross letters.
Question Author
Yes I'm sure of the cross letters and assuming GNASHED is right the H also fits in across. I just don't get the ASHE inside GND unless that's an abbreviation of ground which also = GNASHED???
