Does “Let the meter run” sound, perhaps, great? (10)
I believe the answer is:
tremendous
'great?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'does let the meter run sound perhaps' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'meter' is 'treme' which is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'sound' is 'ndous' which is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tremendous that I've seen before include "Terrific" , "Fantastic" , "Wonderful" , "Splendid!" , "Excellent; very great" .)
