Difficult clue to solve - can anyone help, please? The 5-letter answer is ELA_E. The clue has NO definition but is made up of a cryptic indication PLUS a Spoonerism of the answer! E.g. Traveller, drunk, dreadful tippler (7) leads to the answer RIPPLET (anag tippler). The Spoonerism of ripplet is REPLIT, i.e. rep=traveller and lit=drunk, with me so far?! The clue in question is, "One array for marriage, length taken up on rear of bride (5)". The only word I can see that fits is ELATE but cannot tie it in with the clue. If anyone comes up with this one I will revere you forever!
Thanks.
