Sees red

SEETHES

Think of a strong emotional reaction that involves simmering anger, often silently—like steam building under pressure.

"Sees red" is a phrase that usually means getting angry, but here it’s a playful hint for "seethes," which also describes intense anger. The word "sees" at the start sounds like the letter "C," but the clue cleverly misdirects you—it’s actually pointing to the word "seethes" as a whole. Think of it as a double meaning: literally seeing the color red (anger) while the answer itself fits the emotional reaction.
