Cracking the Code: “Woman who sings a kid’s school permission slips, often“
This week’s crossword puzzle threw a curveball with a clue that had me scratching my head. “Woman who sings a kid’s school permission slips, often” is a tricky one, and it took me a while to figure out the answer.
While the clue might seem straightforward at first glance, there’s a layer of wordplay involved. It’s not about a literal song being sung, but rather a particular type of woman who is known to use a specific type of voice. This is where a bit of creative thinking comes in!
To crack this clue, we need to consider the context. “School permission slips” are generally filled out by parents or guardians. So, we’re looking for a woman associated with a child’s education, likely with a certain level of authority or responsibility.
The phrase “often” implies a habitual action or characteristic. This means the woman in question frequently performs this action associated with permission slips.
Now, let’s delve into the wordplay. “Sings” can be interpreted metaphorically, suggesting a particular type of voice. Think about the way people sometimes describe someone’s voice as being “song-like” or “musical” even when they aren’t literally singing.
Putting all these clues together, we need to find a woman who is often associated with children’s education, likely has a specific type of voice, and “sings” a permission slip in a metaphorical sense.
This clue is a great example of how crossword puzzles can test not just our vocabulary but also our ability to interpret language in creative ways. Let me know if you figured out the answer!
