Remote control easily starts funny show (5)
I believe the answer is:
farce
'funny show' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'remote control easily starts' is the wordplay.
'remote' becomes 'far' (synonyms).
'starts' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'control easily' is 'ce'.
'far'+'ce'='FARCE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for farce that I've seen before include "Absurd event; comedy" , "Humorous play; shambolic event" , "Forcemeat" , "eg 'Noises Off'" , "Broad comedy" .)
