International breaks guy with wrinkles hyped (9)
I believe the answer is:
mainlined
'hyped' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'international breaks guy with wrinkles' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'international' could be 'i' (abbreviation eg in IMF) and 'i' is located in the answer.
'guy' could be 'man' (guy can informally mean a man) and 'man' is found in the remaining letters.
The remaining letters 'lined' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
