Crossword Genius

Rant - read it, bewildered (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tirade

'rant' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'read it bewildered' is the wordplay.
'bewildered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'read'+'it'='readit'
'readit' is an anagram of 'TIRADE'.

(Other definitions for tirade that I've seen before include "A long, vehement harangue" , "Verbal onslaught" , "Long angry harangue" , "Torrent of abuse" , "strong words" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
