Spot to tie the knot
Answer:
ALTAR
Hint:
Not available
Explanation:
Spot to tie the knot" plays on the double meaning of "tie the knot," which is a common phrase for getting married. The "spot" where this happens is often the altar in a church or wedding venue. The clue cleverly avoids directly saying "wedding location" to make it a fun, indirect hint. It’s a straightforward pun where the answer fits both the literal and figurative interpretations.
