Kept going wildly in love with diamonds (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
lived on
'kept going' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'wildly in love with diamonds' is the wordplay.
'wildly' indicates an anagram.
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'diamonds' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for the card suit diamonds).
'in'+'love'='inlove'
'inlove' is an anagram of 'liveon'.
'liveon' placed around 'd' is 'LIVED ON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
