In Minneapolis sometimes they seem quite graceful (6)
I believe the answer is:
lissom
'graceful' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'in minneapolis sometimes they' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LISSOM' can be found hidden inside 'minneapolis sometimes they'.
'seem quite' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lissom that I've seen before include "Lithe and flexible" , "Supple or agile" , "Limber" , "Supple, nimble" , "Lithe, nimble" .)
