Can girl with light be excited? (7)
I believe the answer is:
tingled
'excited?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with perception as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'can girl with light' is the wordplay.
'can' becomes 'tin' (synonyms).
'girl' becomes 'g'.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'light' becomes 'led' (I've seen this before).
'tin'+'g'+'led'='TINGLED'
'be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tingled that I've seen before include "Thrilled; stung" , "Felt prickly sensation, perhaps from excitement" , "Gave pins-and-needles feeling" .)
