Gone, in a way, can be described by two crossword solutions: EATEN (5 letters) and INSANE (6 letters). The term 'gone, in a way' is often used to describe something that has disappeared or is no longer present. In the case of EATEN, it implies that something has been consumed and is no longer available. INSANE, on the other hand, suggests that something has become irrational or illogical, and is no longer in its original state.
