If writer runs during play, kid gets excited (7,7)
I believe the answer is:
rudyard kipling
'if writer' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'runs during play kid gets excited' is the wordplay.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'gets excited' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'getting excited' mean this).
'during'+'play'+'kid'='duringplaykid'
'duringplaykid' anagrammed gives 'udyardkipling'.
'r'+'udyardkipling'='RUDYARD KIPLING'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rudyard kipling that I've seen before include "Indian-born English writer" , "The Jungle Book author, d, 1936" .)
