Horrified by phone game called "Decapitation" (8)
I believe the answer is:
appalled
'horrified' is the definition.
('appal' can be a synonym of 'horrify')
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for appalled that I've seen before include "Aghast, horrified" , "Dismayed - aghast" , "Scandalised" , "Shocked and horrified" , "Deeply shocked, filled with dismay" .)
