Eager for everyone to go back following a note (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
all agog
'eager' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'everyone to go back following a note' is the wordplay.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'go back' becomes 'ago' ('years back' means 'years ago'. I am not sure about the 'go' bit.).
'following' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a note' becomes 'g' (musical note).
'all'+'ago'+'g'='ALL AGOG'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
