Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼The pun-indicating question mark in “Dead ringers?” got me going in a couple of directions, none of them correct. At first, I thought of dial phones, landlines, flip phones and so on — obsolete things with “ringers.” Then I played off the idiom “dead ringers,” or doppelgängers, and tried to come up with something creepy (ghost twin, haunted mirror, you know). The answer isn’t so far-off — MEDIUMS are folks who can speak to the deceased. (Do they answer a phone? Do modern spirits prefer to text? I’m sure I will.)
