Story about Dover, say? (6)
I believe the answer is:
report
'story' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'about dover say?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 're' (regarding) and 're' is found within the answer.
'dover' could be 'port' (Dover is a port) and 'port' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for report that I've seen before include "Narrative given by porter" , "Sudden noise; account of progress" , "'Description, account (6)'" , "Account, of news say" , "Account, story" .)
