Sloppy sort of sauce containing some eggs (5)
I believe the answer is:
soggy
'sloppy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'sauce containing some eggs' is the wordplay.
'sauce' becomes 'soy' (soy sauce).
'containing' indicates putting letters inside.
'some eggs' becomes 'gg' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'soy' enclosing 'gg' is 'SOGGY'.
'sort of' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for soggy that I've seen before include "sopping wet" , "Soft and watery" , "Waterlogged" , "Saturated" , "Wet and soft" .)
