How to cry over spilt beer (8)
I believe the answer is:
bitterly
'how to cry' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'over spilt beer' is the wordplay.
'over' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'spilt' becomes 'ly' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'beer' becomes 'bitter' (I've seen this before).
'ly' put after 'bitter' is 'BITTERLY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bitterly that I've seen before include "In a resentful manner" , "Acrimoniously" , "Resentfully, rancorously" , "Sharply, pungently" , "With resentment" .)
