Board making a late communication (5)

I believe the answer is:

ouija

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'board' is the definition.
(Ouija is an example)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for ouija that I've seen before include "This board is used in spiritualist proceedings" , "Board able to answer questions?" , "(Seance) lettered board" , "This board is used in spiritualism" , "Board for contacting spirits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
