Cracking the Code: “This kind of syrup came up with the joint (7)“

Ah, the joys of a tricky crossword clue! This week’s puzzle has thrown a real curveball at me, and I’m eager to tackle it with you. We’re faced with a clue that’s both playful and cryptic, requiring us to decipher a double meaning. Let’s break it down:

“This kind of syrup”

: This part of the clue is straightforward, pointing us towards a specific type of syrup. We need to think about its properties, its use, and any associated imagery.

“came up with”

: Here’s where things get interesting. This phrase could be interpreted in a few ways, hinting at either a literal or figurative meaning. Is the syrup literally “coming up” with something, or is this a more abstract concept?

“the joint”

: This final piece of the puzzle adds an element of ambiguity. “Joint” can refer to a physical body part, a meeting place, or even a slang term for a marijuana cigarette.

This clue is truly a masterclass in wordplay. We need to find a syrup that not only fits the description but also connects to the idea of “coming up with” and “the joint”.
