Cry over a bit of homework? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mew

'cry' is the definition.
(I know that mew is a type of cry)

'a bit of homework?' is the wordplay.
'a bit of' indicates a hidden word.
'MEW' can be found hidden inside 'homework'.

'over' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for mew that I've seen before include "Cat's sound" , "Animal sound" , "Miaow" , "Cry of a cat or gull" , "Sound made by a cat" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
