I believe the answer is:

teddy

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

'cuddly boy?' is the definition.
'Teddy' can be an answer for 'boy?'. I'm unsure of the 'cuddly' bit.

'boy?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'boy?' could be 'tedd' and 'tedd' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'y' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for teddy that I've seen before include "Stuffed toy" , "Cuddly toy" , "Type of bear" , "Stuffed bear" , "Child's soft toy" .)
