Blaming people employing account referred to earlier (8)
I believe the answer is:
accusing
'blaming' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being present participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'people employing account referred to earlier' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'employing' could be 'using' (to employ is to use) and 'using' is found in the answer.
'account' could be 'acc' and 'acc' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for accusing that I've seen before include "Charging (someone with crime)" , "Levelling a charge against" , "Charging with an offence" , "Indicting" .)
