Cracking the Code: To Carry on Operations in a Kind of Shop (4)

Ah, the joy of a good crossword puzzle! Those moments of furrowed brow, the thrill of a breakthrough, and the satisfaction of a completed grid… it’s a puzzle lover’s paradise. But sometimes, a clue throws us for a loop, leaving us scratching our heads and muttering under our breath.

Today’s clue, “To carry on operations in a kind of shop (4),” is a prime example. It’s deceptively simple, with a straightforward definition, but it requires a bit of lateral thinking to unlock the answer.

The clue hints at a specific type of shop, one that isn’t immediately obvious. Think about the word “operations” in the context of a business. What kind of shop might be associated with carrying out operations?

The answer lies in the subtle connection between the words, and the four-letter constraint adds another layer of complexity. Don’t be afraid to let your mind wander, think outside the box, and consider different angles. The answer might just pop into your head!
