Insinuated editor S.G. Guest is crazy (9)
I believe the answer is:
suggested
'insinuated editor' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
's g guest is crazy' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
's' could be 'es' (es or ess is the spelling of the letter's name) and 'es' is present in the answer.
'g' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'guest' is 'sugte' which is located in the left over letters.
A single letter 'd' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for suggested that I've seen before include "Proposed, recommended" , "Made a proposal" , "Hinted at" .)
