Gobbling venison up, guy that's heartless and ...? (6)
I believe the answer is:
greedy
'?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'gobbling venison up guy that's heartless' is the wordplay.
'gobbling' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'venison' becomes 'deer'.
'up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'that's heartless' means to remove the middle letters.
'guy' with its centre taken out is 'gy'.
'deer' in reverse letter order is 'reed'.
'reed' going inside 'gy' is 'GREEDY'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for greedy that I've seen before include "Wanting too much" , "Very eager to get" , "Avaricious and acquisitive" , "Over-desirous of food" , "Starving" .)
