Two words that fit this are:
Cruellest and Gruelling
Question Author
Thank you.

I think there are a few more words than that which match the letters. It is from the AZED puzzle so may be obscure words.
1 CRUELLEST

ruelle = a 17th-century morning social gathering in the bedroom of a fashionable lady
court = ct

CruellesT
Question Author
Thank you.

I take it the definition is 'most fell'
My understanding is that the CT comes from "most of Court" i.e. first and last letters.
Question Author
If fell is cruel then most fell is cruellest.
ct is a common abbreviation for court.

and yes, cruellest = most fell (i.e. the superlative form)
