Crawler ordered crepe (5)
I believe the answer is:
creep
'crawler' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'ordered crepe' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'crepe' anagrammed gives 'CREEP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for creep that I've seen before include "Of plants, to grow along the ground" , "wretch" , "Tiptoe" , "Crawl silently" , "Slink" .)
