Exult when Edward gets hit on the head! (7)
I believe the answer is:
crowned
'hit on the head' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'exult when edward' is the wordplay.
'exult when' becomes 'crow' (both can mean to brag or behave triumphantly. I am not sure about the 'when' bit.).
'edward' becomes 'Ned'.
'crow'+'ned'='CROWNED'
'gets' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for crowned that I've seen before include "Capped" , "bonked on the head" , "filled with foaming ale" , "wreath on head" , "Hit on the head" .)
