Sewers and streams broadcast - ssssssssssss? (12)
I believe the answer is:
seamstresses
'sewers' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'streams broadcast ssssssssssss?' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates anagramming the letters (letters scattered or cast around).
'ssssssssssss?' becomes 'esses' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'streams' with letters rearranged gives 'seamstr'.
'seamstr'+'esses'='SEAMSTRESSES'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for seamstresses that I've seen is " they create?".)
