Manage to wheedle some fizzy drinks, we hear (4)
I believe the answer is:
coax
'manage to wheedle' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'fizzy drinks we hear' is the wordplay.
'fizzy drinks' becomes 'cokes' (Coca Colas).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'cokes' is a homophone of 'COAX'.
'some' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for coax that I've seen before include "Attempt to manipulate" , "Persuade; type of cable" , "attempt to influence" , "Inveigle" , "sort of cable" .)
