Jumped when taking PT on the meadow (5)
I believe the answer is:
leapt
'jumped when' is the definition.
'leapt' can be an answer for 'jumped' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'when' bit.
'pt on the meadow' is the wordplay.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the meadow' becomes 'lea' (a lea is a grassy area).
'pt' after 'lea' is 'LEAPT'.
'taking' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leapt that I've seen before include "rose fast" , "Made spring" , "moved up quickly" , "Jumped a long way" , "Vaulted" .)
