Who's beginning to shun wordiest mess? (7)
I believe the answer is:
editors
'who's beginning to shun wordiest mess?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'beginning to shun wordiest mess?' is the wordplay.
'beginning to shun' means to remove the first letter.
'mess?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'mess' mean this).
'wordiest' with its first letter removed is 'ordiest'.
'ordiest' is an anagram of 'EDITORS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for editors that I've seen before include "Newspaper heads" , "Press employees" , "Employees on paper" , "Newspaper bosses" , "Senior journalists" .)
