Reportedly, wants to make some dough (6)
I believe the answer is:
kneads
'to make some dough' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'reportedly wants' is the wordplay.
'reportedly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'wants' becomes 'needs' ('need' can be a synonym of 'want').
'needs' sounds like 'KNEADS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kneads that I've seen before include "Massages, dough perhaps" , "Works and presses with the hands" , "Works (dough) with the hands" , "Works together into a mass" , "Massages, dough say" .)
