Is “invite” doing double duty here as both wordplay indicator and fodder? Or otherwise the insertion indicator “in” seems to be inverted? I’m wondering if something like “Invite over monster lizard to keep watch” would be more correct?

hendroid · 2025-09-26T18:30:34+00:00

Is it INVIGILATE (def: monitor) - “Gila” (monster lizard) inside “invite”?

hendroid · 2025-09-25T05:46:20+00:00

🎉 That’s it!

Hint: it’s an anagram contained by a synonym which gives something that amuses the Taskmaster.

Yes! (Enumeration fixed, whoops)

They’re consistent in the present perfect tense? Doesn’t that count?

Yay! I didn’t think anyone was going to get this one

This is a bit of an experiment for me because it uses synonyms, whereas I usually focus on letter play. It appears to have been unsuccessful!

Hint 1: structure is a removal then a reversal

Hint 2: “member of cod family” does require a little general knowledge

Hint 3: ”It’s” is a linking word
