Took a chair

SAT

Think of what you do when you rest your legs after standing—it’s a short action that starts with "s."

"Took a chair" is a playful way to hint at the word "SAT" because when you sit down, you literally take a chair. The clue uses the action of sitting as a definition, while "took a chair" cleverly points to the answer by describing what you do with a chair. It’s a simple but clever example of how crossword clues can turn everyday phrases into wordplay.
