Fearsome monster in Progress (4)
I believe the answer is:
ogre
'fearsome monster' is the definition.
'ogre' can be an answer for 'monster' (fairy tale monster). I am not certain of the 'fearsome' bit.
'in progress' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'OGRE' is hidden in the letters of 'progress'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ogre that I've seen before include "Brute" , "The giant is some goer" , "Cruel, fearsome person" , "Grim(m) beast?" , "character in 'Puss in Boots'" .)
