Supportive person for short wet gent, confused (5,2,8)
I believe the answer is:
tower of strength
'supportive person' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'for short wet gent confused' is the wordplay.
'confused' indicates an anagram.
'for'+'short'+'wet'+'gent'='forshortwetgent'
'forshortwetgent' anagrammed gives 'TOWER OF STRENGTH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tower of strength that I've seen before include "person to be relied upon" , "Powerful tractor" , "Great support" , "One very reliable" , "powerful tug?" .)
