Last one and completely foxed
30D Formerly straight, slewed by the sound of it - I have ?ite - as usual any help welcome

Tite is an old word for 'at once' 'immediate' if we can make that work as 'straight' then it sounds like 'Tight' - slewed/drunk ?

straight (away)?

Chambers gives one meaning of the adverb 'straight' as 'immediately'.

Incidentally,this sense is shown by OED as 'now poet or arch', a quoted example being from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner: "The boat came close beneath the ship, And straight a sound was heard."
