Back in the well I obtained fuel (3) – Cracking the Code!

Ah, the classic crossword clue! Simple, yet deceptively tricky. It’s the type of clue that makes you furrow your brow, tap your pencil, and mutter, “But what does it
really
mean?”

This week’s puzzle presents us with a real head-scratcher:

“Back in the well I obtained fuel (3)“

. The phrasing is intriguing, with a sense of hidden meaning and a hint of wordplay. Three letters… it’s a short answer, but that doesn’t make it any easier.

Let’s break down the clue and see if we can unlock its secret. “Back in the well” suggests a reversal of some sort, perhaps a word being spelled backwards. The phrase “obtained fuel” hints at a substance, something that provides energy or power.

So, what three-letter word fits the bill? Could it be a type of fuel? An energy source? Perhaps a synonym for “obtained”?

Think outside the box, use your crossword solving skills, and see if you can crack this cryptic puzzle. Remember, every clue holds the key to its solution!
