(It’s a good answer, but I’m not telling right away. That’s right. I’m being a wise guy! It’s a great play on words, and that’s all I’m going to say . . . for now. I bet some of you got it. Right?) — YUR

I’m having a hard time figuring out how wrest is a great play on words can u explain please
It’s a homophone for “rest”. A picnic is associated with rest and relaxation. While with a tug of war you’re aim is to “wrest” the other side over the center line.
