Recorded Edward as missing? (5)
I believe the answer is:
noted
'recorded' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'edward as missing?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'edward' could be 'ted' and 'ted' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'no' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for noted that I've seen before include "saw" , "Made a record - celebrated" , "Observed - famous" , "Renowned" , "taken down" .)
