Question 1

What does the cryptic crossword clue "Scent what one might do with flour, did you say? (5)" mean?

Accepted Answer

The definition is "Scent". The wordplay uses a homophone (sounds like). Sounds like [did you say?] “sieve it” (what one might do with flour). I knew civet as an animal but not as the strong musky perfume extracted from its anal glands. The answer is CIVET.
