Gee, LR hint was complicated and more long-winded (9)
I believe the answer is:
lengthier
'more long-winded' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are comparative adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'gee lr hint was complicated' is the wordplay.
'gee lr hint' anagrams to 'LENGTHIER'.
Though, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for lengthier that I've seen is " Extending further".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
