Comical points cause entanglements (13)
I believe the answer is:
complications
'entanglements' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'comical points cause' is the wordplay.
'cause' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'causes' mean this).
'comical'+'points'='comicalpoints'
'comicalpoints' is an anagram of 'COMPLICATIONS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for complications that I've seen before include "Complexities, difficulties" , "Problems" .)
