Audible call to help with the laundry (5)
I believe the answer is:
wring
'with the laundry' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'audible call' is the wordplay.
'audible' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'call' becomes 'ring' (telephone call).
'ring' sounds like 'WRING'.
'to help' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wring that I've seen before include "Twist forcibly" , "Squeeze water out of" , "Squeeze moisture (from)" , "Extract with difficulty" , "Squeeze liquid from" .)
