Crossword puzzles are a delightful challenge, a playful test of vocabulary and a chance to flex our mental muscles. Sometimes, though, we encounter clues that leave us feeling more tangled than a spool of thread. Today’s clue, “Do some hemming, say“, is one of those. It’s a classic example of a clue that requires a bit of lateral thinking, a peek behind the curtain of everyday language to find the hidden word.

Let’s dissect the clue and see what threads we can pull. “Hemming” is a familiar term – it suggests the act of sewing a finished edge onto fabric. But the clue doesn’t simply ask for “sewing”.

Perhaps we need to consider synonyms for “hemming”. Maybe we need to think about the purpose of hemming. Or perhaps we need to approach this clue from a completely different angle, exploring the word “say” and its connection to the act of sewing.
