lengthways

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'end to end' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'ghastly new tangles' is the wordplay.
'tangles' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'tangled' mean this).
'ghastly'+'new'='ghastlynew'
'ghastlynew' anagrammed gives 'LENGTHWAYS'.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lengthways that I've seen before include "In a direction along an object" , "In the direction of the longest dimension" , "going from end to end" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
