What helps forge work of Nobel laureate? (7)
I believe the answer is:
bellows
'nobel laureate?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'what helps forge work of' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'work' could be 'be' (synonyms) and 'be' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bellows that I've seen before include "Fire fanner for Boswell" , "Fan of fire" , "Shouts loudly" , "Air blower for fire" , "camera part" .)
