Raised fortune by end of June to much acclaim (5)
I believe the answer is:
extol
'much acclaim' is the definition.
'extol' can be an answer for 'acclaim' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'much' bit.
'raised fortune by end of june' is the wordplay.
'raised' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'fortune' becomes 'lot' ('lot' can be a synonym of 'fortune').
'by' becomes 'x' (multiplication sign).
'end of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'june' is 'e'.
'lot'+'x'+'e'='lotxe'
'lotxe' written backwards gives 'EXTOL'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for extol that I've seen before include "Speak highly" , "Cry up" , "Crack up" , "Speak well of" , "Glorify - honour" .)
