Helpful Hints
- This clue's indicators are 'removing', 'gets', 'lid' and 'tail'. Two of these are selection indicators, flagging which letters from neighbouring fodder we need to pay attention to. A third is a deletion indicator - some fodder needs to be deleted from some other fodder. And 'gets' could be a containing indicator (some fodder goes inside other fodder), but here it just suggests adding onto - some fodder will prepend some other fodder.
- This clue's fodder is 'Witch', 'cauldron', 'toad' and 'uncooked'. We'll use the letters of three of these along with a synonym of the other to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).
- Our definition here is 'chicken out', and our answer will be another word for that.
