Many a handle

As a detective, I was presented with the challenging clue of ‘Many a handle‘ in a crossword puzzle. My initial thoughts led me to think of various objects with handles, such as a door or a cabinet. However, as I reflected on the clue, I realized that the word many may be key to solving this mystery.

While thinking about it, I recalled that many household items can have multiple handles, but only one particular item has many handles: a knob. Knobs can be found on doors, cabinets, drawers, and other items in our homes, making them a fitting answer to this crossword puzzle clue.

As I solved this mystery, I shook my head at how easily I overlooked the significance of the word ‘many‘. It is often the small details that can lead to the greatest insights, and my detective work proved it yet again.
