Feasts
Answer:
DINES
Hint:
Think of a word that describes enjoying a meal out, often used when someone eats at a restaurant or as a guest. It’s a verb that rhymes with "signs."
Explanation:
"Feasts" is a verb meaning to eat a large meal, but here it’s used as a clever noun hinting at the action itself. The answer "DINES" fits because it’s a synonym for eating, especially in a formal or leisurely way—like enjoying a feast. The clue plays on the idea that feasting and dining are closely related, with "dines" being the more concise verb form. Think of it as swapping a grand word for a simpler one that means the same thing.
