Stumped by this crossword clue? Discover the answer to ‘They hold people’s handles'”.

As a seasoned detective, I had come across various cryptic clues in my time, and the crossword puzzle in front of me was no exception. The clue in question was ‘They hold people’s handles‘, and the answer needed to be a six-letter word. At first glance, there were numerous possible answers such as bags, cages, carts and so on. However, none seemed to fit the context of ‘holding handles‘. Then, my mind made a crucial connection. In many situations, when we need to identify a person and their handle – be it their name or designation, we use ‘nametags‘. The nametags hold the person’s name and title, and by attaching them to their clothes, we know how to address them and hold them accountable. The answer fit the bill perfectly – six letters, holding handles, and describing a common object useful to identify people. I smirked at cracking the clue, jotted down the word ‘nametags‘ and moved to the next challenge. As every great detective knows, every clue can bring new insights that lead us to the truth.
