One who can’t serve immediately? (6)

Stuck on a Crossword Clue? “One who can’t serve immediately?” (6)

Ah, the joy (and sometimes the frustration) of a good crossword puzzle! We’ve all been there, staring at a tricky clue, our brain cells firing but not quite hitting the right combination. Today’s clue is a real head-scratcher:

“One who can’t serve immediately?” (6)

.

Is it someone who’s just learning a new job? Maybe a tennis player with a bum shoulder? Or perhaps a restaurant with a long wait list?

Let’s break it down. The clue is a bit cryptic, using a double meaning to mislead us. The “serve” could be referring to a waiter, a tennis player, or even someone offering a service like a mechanic. But the “immediately” part throws a wrench into things.

Think about the different ways someone might be unable to serve “immediately.” Is it a lack of resources? A physical limitation? Perhaps a matter of timing?

Let’s examine the word count. The answer is a six-letter word, which narrows down our search considerably.

So, put on your thinking cap, grab your dictionary, and let’s work together to crack this code! What do you think the answer might be? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
