Yells right through the fights (6)
I believe the answer is:
brawls
'the fights' is the definition.
(brawl is a kind of fight)
'yells right' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found in the answer.
'yells' could be 'bawls' (bawling is a kind of yelling) and 'bawls' is found within the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'through' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brawls that I've seen before include "Noisy free-for-alls" , "Noisy quarrels or fights" , "Rough, noisy fights" .)
