Today’s post is all about one of those pesky clues that seems to defy logic: “Allow to do something to hair (6).”
This clue has a deceptive simplicity, hiding a word that’s surprisingly common yet easily overlooked. We’re not talking about something you do to hair
directly,
but rather a word that implies
permission
or
opportunity
for hair-related actions.
So, how do we untangle this web of words? Let’s break it down:
“Allow”
: This word is crucial, indicating that the answer is a verb that implies permission or acceptance.
“To do something to hair”
: This is a broad phrase, meaning we need a word that encompasses a range of actions that could be done to hair.
“(6)”
: This, of course, tells us the word is six letters long.
