What literary people do sounds correct (5)
I believe the answer is:
write
'what literary people do' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.
'sounds correct' is the wordplay.
'sounds' shows a homophone (sound like).
'correct' becomes 'right' (right can mean correct).
'right' is a homophone of 'WRITE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for write that I've seen before include "Put pen to paper" , "Jot" , "Put down in black and white" , "Compose (music)" , "Use a pen/pencil" .)
