Brazen first person is going back up to animal shelter with team leader (8)
I believe the answer is:
impudent
'brazen' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'first person is going back up to animal shelter with team leader' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'first' could be 'i' (I in Roman numerals eg Elizabeth I) and 'i' is found within the answer.
'person' could be 'mp' (MP is an example) and 'mp' is found in the answer.
'shelter' could be 'den' (an animal's shelter) and 'den' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ut' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for impudent that I've seen before include "Saucy" , "Rude" , "impolite" , "Cheeky, disrespectful" , "Impertinent, insolent" .)
