Bruised and cut on the tongue (4)
I believe the answer is:
sore
This might be a double definition.
'bruised' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'cut on the tongue' is the second definition.
'sore' can be an answer for 'cut' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'on the tongue' bit.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sore that I've seen before include "Painfully sensitive" , "Hurt" , "Rose (anag.)" , "Painful or informally angry" , "See 16" .)
