Wife and I put pressure on Edward to get cleaned (5)
I believe the answer is:
wiped
'to get cleaned' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'wife and i put pressure on edward' is the wordplay.
'wife' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'put' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'pressure on' becomes 'p' (abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.).
'edward' becomes 'Ed' (short for Edward).
'w'+'i'+'p'+'ed'='WIPED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wiped that I've seen before include "Rubbed clean" , "Dried" , "To get cleaned" , "Was clearing" .)
