“They provide transport for those who are late” – A Crossword Clue Challenge

This week’s crossword clue has me scratching my head! “They provide transport for those who are late” is a real brain teaser, isn’t it? It’s a classic example of a clue that relies on a little wordplay and a bit of lateral thinking to solve.

Let’s break down the clue and see what we can glean. Firstly, we know that the answer is a noun, plural, and consists of seven letters. The clue itself hints at a form of transportation, but not just any transportation. It’s for those who are
late
. This suggests a sense of urgency and potentially a less traditional method of getting around.

Could the answer be a type of vehicle? Perhaps a taxi or a bus? While those are options, the phrase “they provide transport” suggests something a little more abstract. Maybe it’s a service or an organization?

One way to approach this clue is to consider the different ways someone might get around if they are late. Do they jump in a taxi? Hail a bus? Or do they resort to a different kind of transportation?

Think about the people who are always late. What do they do to make up for lost time? What might they use to get to their destination quickly?

The answer to this clue is waiting to be discovered! Let’s put on our thinking caps and see if we can crack it. Share your thoughts in the comments below!
