“Followed a Description of Evening Clothes” – Cracking the Code
Ah, the joys of a good crossword puzzle. Those moments of furrowed brows, pen poised over the grid, as you grapple with cryptic clues, seeking that satisfying “Aha!” moment when the answer clicks into place. But sometimes, even the most seasoned solver can find themselves stumped. Today’s puzzle has thrown a particularly tricky clue my way: “Followed a description of evening clothes (6).”
This one has me scratching my head. What exactly does “followed” mean in this context? And how does it relate to “evening clothes”? The word count, “6”, adds another layer of complexity. Is this a common word, or something more obscure?
Let’s break down the clue. “Followed” could imply a sequence of events, or perhaps a direct connection between two things. “Description” suggests a verbal or written portrayal. And “evening clothes” brings to mind images of formal attire, perhaps even a specific type of garment.
So, how do we piece these elements together?
Is the answer a synonym for “followed” itself? Could it be a type of clothing associated with evening events? Or is there a hidden wordplay at work, requiring a lateral leap in thinking?
I’m starting to suspect this clue might be a bit of a curveball.
Stay tuned, dear fellow crossword enthusiasts, as I delve deeper into this puzzle and attempt to unravel this cryptic message. I’m sure we’ll find the answer, together!
