A girl left cracking info on 50s hairstyle? (6)
I believe the answer is:
glenda
'a girl' is the definition.
'left cracking info on 50s hairstyle?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'left' could be 'l' (common abbreviation) and 'l' is located in the answer.
'info' could be 'gen' (informal term for information) and 'gen' is found in the leftover letters.
'hairstyle?' could be 'da' (duck's arse, 1950s hairstyle) and 'da' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for glenda that I've seen before include "- - Jackson, Hampstead MP" , "-- Jackson, actress and former MP" , "--- Jackson, Br. actress" , "Girl" .)
