When I'm not doing crossword clues or playing board games I also mess around with music, here's the most recent something I messed around with

Yeah been struggling (while watching TV) to make the surface work without it but I'm sure there's something.

Your clue is nice, like the sneaky definition

Yeah the G I don't think works, thought it might come from GOAT but that G means greatest not great.

Rebels attempt to kill the king/rebels attempt regicide?

I don't know, you definitely know better than me on what works!

Ahhh I see, E for ecstasy I think is a common abbreviation as in the drug, the G in not 100% on though maybe

Yeah that was my thinking, it's missing something there, was toying with "taking great ecstasy" as a potential option maybe, as in I cried taking in the G and E

I didn't realise Chambers was the standard, I did worry pitchy was more colloquial a term, I like it but all feedback is pointing at it not being right 🤣 back to the drawing board!

Feedback has been questioning pitchy as an anagram indicator, I think it works ok as in meaning distorted or not quite right or off key. I get that it might not be standard but feels ok within the context of the surface?

I've definitely seen the definition used the other way round in clues so feels like it should be fine to flip it 🤷🏼‍♂️

Didn't know the definition synonym but got it from the clue, enjoyed it though!
