Mistake in the bell tower? (7)
I believe the answer is:
clanger
This might be a double definition.
'mistake' is the first definition.
(clanger is a kind of mistake)
'bell tower?' is the second definition.
'clanger' can be an answer for 'bell' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'tower?' bit.
'in the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clanger that I've seen before include "Embarrassing mistake (colloq.)" , "Embarrassing blunder (with consequences that may reverberate)" , "noise that rings in the ear" , "Bell possibly" , "A slang blunder - drop it" .)
