Crept to edit top composition (7)
I believe the answer is:
tiptoed
'crept' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'edit top composition' is the wordplay.
'composition' indicates an anagram (letters arranged or composed in a different order).
'edit'+'top'='edittop'
'edittop' with letters rearranged gives 'TIPTOED'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tiptoed that I've seen before include "Walked as quietly as possible" , "Moved cautiously" , "Went silently, carefully" , "Walked carefully" .)
