Exaggerate report of eggs condition (9)
I believe the answer is:
overstate
'exaggerate' is the definition.
(I know that exaggerate can be written as overstate)
'report of eggs condition' is the wordplay.
'report of eggs' becomes 'over' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'condition' becomes 'state' (I've seen this in another clue).
'over'+'state'='OVERSTATE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overstate that I've seen before include "Exaggerate, make too much of" , "Exaggerate, go beyond bounds of truth" , "lay it on thick" .)
