Adjusted organ pipes in space outside church (6)
I believe the answer is:
voiced
'adjusted organ pipes' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'space outside church' is the wordplay.
'space' becomes 'void' (void is a kind of space).
'outside' is an insertion indicator (some letters go outside others).
'church' becomes 'CE' (Church of England).
'void' enclosing 'ce' is 'VOICED'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for voiced that I've seen before include "Said aloud" , "Articulated" , "Sounded, uttered" , "Uttered, expressed" , "Expressed in speech" .)
