Southern furies turned out to be more picky (7)
I believe the answer is:
fussier
'be more picky' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'southern furies turned out' is the wordplay.
'southern' becomes 's' (abbreviation).
'turned out' is an anagram indicator (turn out can mean to organise).
's'+'furies'='sfuries'
'sfuries' anagrammed gives 'FUSSIER'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
