Reportedly goes for jolly idea? (6)
I believe the answer is:
wheeze
'jolly idea?' is the definition.
'wheeze' can be an answer for 'idea?' (I have seen 'good idea' mean 'wheeze' so perhaps 'idea' could also mean 'wheeze'). I'm not sure about the 'jolly' bit.
'reportedly goes' is the wordplay.
'reportedly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'goes' becomes 'wees' (go can mean to urinate).
'wees' sounds like 'WHEEZE'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wheeze that I've seen before include "A good trick" , "Joke; cunning plan" , "Whistling breath and clever scheme" , "Audible inspiration" , "Breathe noisily; scheme" .)
