With a C but no L or E, Wordle could be CRUSH (5)
I believe the answer is:
crowd
'be crush' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'with a c but no l or e wordle' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'with' could be 'w' (abbreviation) and 'w' is present in the answer.
'c' is within the answer.
'no' could be 'o' (resembles 0 - 'no' can mean 'zero') and 'o' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'could' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for crowd that I've seen before include "See 1" , "Social set" , "assembly" , "Throng" , "Spectators" .)
