Works of fiction concealed by Charlie Sheen (4)
I believe the answer is:
lies
'works of fiction' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'concealed by charlie sheen' is the wordplay.
'concealed' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'LIES' can be found hidden inside 'by charlie sheen'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lies that I've seen before include "pork pies" , "Tall stories" , "Assumes a horizontal position" , "Is prone" , "Deceits; is" .)
