She made changes in returned rubbish I had initially excluded (6)
I believe the answer is:
editor
'she made changes' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'returned rubbish i had initially excluded' is the wordplay.
'returned' is a reversal indicator.
'rubbish' becomes 'rot' (both can mean nonsense).
'i had' becomes 'I'd' (I'd).
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'excluded' is 'e'.
'rot'+'id'+'e'='rotide'
'rotide' written backwards gives 'EDITOR'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for editor that I've seen before include "Wapping boss" , "Paper head" , "One prepares a work for publication" , "Journalist - rioted (anag)" , "One who determines the final content of a text" .)
