Pattern
Things That Have
Every clue describes something that possesses a quality, part, or feature the answer names.
Example. If each clue is an object with a handle, the answer is the shared property: handle, or the quality they all have, depending on how the game words it that day.
How Things That Have works
Recognition guide
Read the clues as incomplete sentences: this has ____. The blank is the answer. Clues rarely say the blank out loud, so you have to notice that they are all talking about possession or membership in a feature.
These puzzles feel abstract at first. Anchor on the most physical clue (something you can touch that obviously has the feature), then work outward to the vaguer ones.
