Healthy range of food for tightrope walker? (8,4)
I believe the answer is:
balanced diet
'tightrope walker?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'healthy range of food' is the wordplay.
'healthy range of' becomes 'balanced' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'food' becomes 'diet' (diet is a kind of food).
'balanced'+'diet'='BALANCED DIET'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
