Tag width is wrong for this reluctant spender (8)
I believe the answer is:
tightwad
'this reluctant spender' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'tag width is wrong' is the wordplay.
'is wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'tag'+'width'='tagwidth'
'tagwidth' anagrammed gives 'TIGHTWAD'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tightwad that I've seen before include "Skinflint" , "Miser (sl.)" , "Cheapskate" , "Mean person (US)" , "Miserly person" .)
