Play for laughs, cracking my code? (6)
I believe the answer is:
comedy
'play for laughs' is the definition.
'comedy' can be an answer for 'play' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'for laughs' bit.
'cracking my code?' is the wordplay.
'cracking' indicates anagramming the letters.
'my'+'code'='mycode'
'mycode' anagrammed gives 'COMEDY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for comedy that I've seen before include "Light amusing play or film" , "Humour" , "satirical play" , "Humorous entertainment" , "kind of play" .)
