Praise — congratulations (5)

I believe the answer is:

kudos

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'praise' is the first definition.
(kudos is recognition or praise for something)

'congratulations' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for kudos that I've seen before include "Pat on the back" , "Great prestige" , "Laudation" , "Renown" , "Honour - cachet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
