They may be works, strangely enough (5)

I believe the answer is:

plays

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'works strangely enough' is the definition.
'plays' can be an answer for 'works' (I have seen 'Dramatic works ' mean 'plays' so perhaps 'works' could also mean 'plays'). I am unsure of the 'strangely enough' bit.

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for plays that I've seen before include "Dramas" , "Dramatic works" , "Dramatist's works" , "Theatrical works" , "Frolics" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
