Why funkiest gag went wrong, and there were fireworks (3,6,5)
I believe the answer is:
guy fawkes night
'wrong and there were fireworks' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'why funkiest gag went' is the wordplay.
'went' indicates anagramming the letters ('go' can mean move).
'why'+'funkiest'+'gag'='whyfunkiestgag'
'whyfunkiestgag' is an anagram of 'GUY FAWKES NIGHT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
