mephisto: Get tongue-tied bass doubling up on second bit. SEE-WOL- (3 words)

[magistra]

Paul McKenna does it again! Sunday wouldn't be the same without Mephisto, but why does McKenna have to be so obscure?

[mike11111]

Lose the plot fits the definition, but i can't justify it by any wordplay.

[kayakamina]

See a wolf

[magistra]

Thanks, Mike11111, but I only need 8 letters, and the letters I have are correct: SEE-WOL-

[magistra]

Thanks, Kayakamina. I thought of that, but couldn't find any reference to the phrase in Chambers, until I thought to lookk under "wolf". I still don't see how the answer follows from the clue, though!

[mike11111]

I think I get it. Is Sea wolf another name for bass (fish)?

[mike11111]

... second letter repeated.

[JMR27]

both F + low mean bass reversed/doubling up on s(econd) but can't explain 'eea'

[JMR27]

oh that's it mike well done. Your answers weren't there when I started typing my lame effort :o)

[turast]

Sea Wolf = Bass
Repeat 2nd
SEE A WOLF = Get tongue tied (in Chambers under WOLF)

P.S. Had a win on Mephisto 2639. Yipee!
