Made a lot of noise about article and talked nonsense (9)
I believe the answer is:
blathered
'talked nonsense' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'made a lot of noise about article' is the wordplay.
'made a lot of noise' becomes 'blared' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'article' becomes 'the' (the definite article).
'blared' enclosing 'the' is 'BLATHERED'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blathered that I've seen before include "talked drivel" , "went on and on" , "rattled on" .)
