Crowd turns to poet to attack continuously (7)
I believe the answer is:
bombard
'attack continuously' is the definition.
'bombard' can be an answer for 'attack' (bombarding is a kind of attacking). I'm not sure about the 'continuously' bit.
'crowd turns to poet' is the wordplay.
'crowd' becomes 'mob' (mob can mean a crowd of people).
'turns' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'to poet' becomes 'bard' (bard is a kind of poet).
'mob' in reverse letter order is 'bom'.
'bom'+'bard'='BOMBARD'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bombard that I've seen before include "Pelt with missiles" , "Attack with missiles" , "Batter heavily and persistently" , "Attack persistently" , "Organ stop" .)
