Contrary managers sacked snarky heiress? (5)
I believe the answer is:
regan
'heiress?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'contrary managers sacked snarky' is the wordplay.
'REGAN' is hidden backwards within the letters.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for regan that I've seen before include "Shakespearean baddie" , "daughter in play" , "Goneril's sister (K. Lear)" , "Ungrateful daughter" , "Princess" .)
