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 you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'streams broadcast ssssssssssss?' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates an anagram (letters scattered or cast around).
'ssssssssssss?' becomes 'esses' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'streams' is an anagram of '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?".)
