Cracking the Code: A Man Who Dispenses with Current Measures (4)
Ah, the joys of a good crossword puzzle! That moment of satisfaction when you finally crack a tricky clue, the feeling of accomplishment as you fill in those empty squares – it’s truly a satisfying experience. But sometimes, a clue throws us for a loop, leaving us scratching our heads and wondering where to even begin.
Today’s clue is one such puzzle: “A man who dispenses with current measures (4).” At first glance, it seems straightforward, but there’s a bit of wordplay at play. The key lies in understanding how “measures” can be interpreted in this context. Is it referring to literal measurements, like inches or pounds? Or is there a more figurative meaning?
Let’s break down the clue and explore the possibilities. “Dispenses with” implies a rejection or disregard for something. “Current measures” could refer to established practices, norms, or even physical units of measurement. The length of the answer – four letters – further narrows down our search.
Think outside the box and consider the various ways “man” could be associated with “dispenses with” and “measures.” Are there any professions, roles, or characteristics that fit this description?
I encourage you to ponder the clue, let your mind wander, and see where it takes you! Remember, sometimes the most straightforward solutions are the ones we overlook.
