Get bigger with added pounds and grumble noisily (5)
I believe the answer is:
growl
'grumble noisily' is the definition.
'growl' can be an answer for 'grumble' (synonyms). I am unsure of the 'noisily' bit.
'get bigger with added pounds' is the wordplay.
'get bigger' becomes 'grow' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with added' says to put letters next to each other.
'pounds' becomes 'l' (abbreviation e.g. Lsd - pounds, shillings, pence).
'grow'+'l'='GROWL'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for growl that I've seen before include "Threatening dog's noise" , "gruff sound" , "warn of attack" , "Hostile animal's sound" , "Dull, rumbling sound of an animal" .)
