Living it up in the attic? (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
high life
'the attic?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'living it up' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'living' could be 'life' (synonyms) and 'life' is found within the answer.
'up' could be 'high' (associated in meaning) and 'high' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
