Tactic when love becomes a farce? (4)
I believe the answer is:
play
'farce?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'tactic when love becomes a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ply' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for play that I've seen before include "Scope - entertainment" , "Stage work" , "Drama - latitude - sport" , "Perform music" , "Drama; engage in games" .)
