Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼UPDATE: Wordplayers come through in the clutch! Thank you for clearing up the clue “Safety nets?” for me. Today I Learned (TIL) that it is a football clue, not a basketball clue as I originally thought because of the word “net,” and that there is such a thing as a “safety.” And that a safety “nets” a team two points.I consulted my research department — it consists of my husband, my kids and Google — about TWO POINTS being the answer to “Safety nets?” It’s a football clue (and not about a real safety net because “what else could it mean?”), but I don’t know enough about the sport to understand what a 2-point shot has to do with safety.
