- 'Head' and 'fruitlessly' are our indicators — one tells us to take the first letter of a word, and the other playfully tells us just what to delete from a neighbouring word.
- Our fodder is 'shower', 'Ring', and 'plumber'. We'll need a short substitute for one, and use the letters of the others, as directed by the indicator(s).
- The definition is 'Dry' — we're looking for one of its synonyms.
