Rene's gutted, cut up over mark in English test again (2-7)
I believe the answer is:
re-examine
'test again' is the definition.
(to examine or test again)
'rene's gutted cut up over mark in english' is the wordplay.
'gutted' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (to gut something is to remove its insides).
'cut up' becomes 'axe' (both can mean to cancel or remove. I am not sure about the 'up' bit.).
'over' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'mark' becomes 'm'.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'rene' with its middle taken out is 're'.
'axe' written backwards gives 'exa'.
're'+'exa'+'m'+'in'+'e'='RE-EXAMINE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for re-examine that I've seen before include "Investigate again" , "Look at again" , "Study further" .)
