There's a little thought for each cry (7)
I believe the answer is:
whimper
'cry' is the definition.
(I know that whimper is a more specific form of the action cry)
'there's a little thought for each' is the wordplay.
'there's' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a little thought' becomes 'whim' (whim is a kind of thought. I am not sure about the 'little' bit.).
'for each' becomes 'per' (per person).
'whim' next to 'per' is 'WHIMPER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for whimper that I've seen before include "Snivel" , "Cry weakly or softly" , "Sob" , "Complaint" , "Cry feebly or plaintively" .)
