It makes some more offensive thug lie repeatedly (6)
I believe the answer is:
uglier
'it' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.
'some more offensive thug lie repeatedly' is the wordplay.
'UGLIER' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.
'makes' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for uglier that I've seen before include "Less pleasing to look at" , "More horrible" , "More 14 down" , "Less physically attractive" , "with worse features" .)
