Inarticulate guide to net needs rewriting (6-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tongue-tied

'inarticulate' is the definition.
('tongue-tied' can be similar in meaning to 'inarticulate')

'guide to net needs rewriting' is the wordplay.
'needs rewriting' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'guide'+'to'+'net'='guidetonet'
'guidetonet' anagrammed gives 'TONGUE-TIED'.

(Other definitions for tongue-tied that I've seen before include "(Out of shyness) barely able to speak" , "Unable to speak coherently" , "Speechless from embarrassment" , "Unable to say" , "Speechless with shyness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
