Awfully shy clique I left, making a sucking sound (8)
I believe the answer is:
squelchy
'a sucking sound' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'awfully shy clique i left' is the wordplay.
'awfully' indicates an anagram.
'left' suggests deleting specific letters.
'shy'+'clique'='shyclique'
'shyclique' with 'i' taken away is 'shyclque'.
'shyclque' is an anagram of 'SQUELCHY'.
'making' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for squelchy that I've seen before include "Marshy" , "Like wet mud" , "Soggy" .)
