when you finally solve a tricky clue, and the sense of accomplishment that washes over you once the grid is complete. But what about those clues that leave you scratching your head, wondering where on earth the answer could possibly be found?
Today, we’re tackling one such perplexing clue:
“Describing a sizeable vessel dressed overall? (6)“
.
At first glance, it seems like a straightforward question. We’re looking for a six-letter word that describes a large boat and relates to clothing. But there’s a subtle twist. “Dressed overall” hints at a specific type of attire, adding an extra layer of complexity.
Let’s break down the clue:
Sizeable vessel:
This narrows down our search to nautical terms, indicating a large ship or boat.
Dressed:
This hints at some sort of covering or adornment.
Overall:
This tells us the covering is a complete garment, covering the entirety of the vessel.
Now, we need to connect these concepts and find a word that fits all the criteria. Is it a specific type of ship design? A particular material used for covering? Or perhaps a term related to the way a vessel is decorated?
As crossword enthusiasts, we know that the answer is out there, waiting to be uncovered. With a little ingenuity and a sprinkle of dictionary-diving, we’re sure to find the solution.
Stay tuned for the reveal, and let us know in the comments if you think you’ve cracked the code!
