Spotted attending

Answer:

SEENAT

Hint:

This phrase might describe someone noticed in a crowd, especially when their presence is unexpected or noteworthy. Think of a common expression where "seen" is paired with a preposition.

Explanation:

"Spotted attending" is a playful clue where "spotted" hints at seeing something, and "attending" suggests being present—like at an event. The answer "SEENAT" combines "seen" (from "spotted") with "at" (short for "attending"), forming a punny phrase that sounds like "seen at." It’s a clever way to turn a simple idea into a wordplay-based answer.
