Crossword Genius

Spill the beans and count (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tell

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'spill the beans' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'count' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tell that I've seen before include "Rossini composed opera 'William ....'" , "Apprise" , "Relate; Swiss hero" , "Make an impact" , "his hitting the apple?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
