Works to make dough it's said to satisfy these (5)
I believe the answer is:
needs
'satisfy these' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is an adverb.
'works to make dough it's said' is the wordplay.
'works' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'make dough' becomes 'knead' (I've seen this in another clue).
'it's said' shows a homophone (sound like).
'knead' is a homophone of 'need'.
's' after 'need' is 'NEEDS'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for needs that I've seen before include "Wants, requires" , "Misses" , "Essentials" , "What we require" , "What is required" .)
