Made a splash and much noise at a low resort (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
dived in
'a low resort' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'made a splash and much noise at' is the wordplay.
'made a splash' becomes 'ved' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'much' means to remove the last letter (much but not all of the word).
'noise' becomes 'din' (din can mean a loud noise or disturbance).
'at' becomes 'in' (synonymous in some cases - eg at school, in school).
'din' with its last letter taken off is 'di'.
'ved' after 'di' is 'dived'.
'dived'+'in'='DIVED IN'
Can you help me to learn more?
