A sibilant sound is a hissing or buzzing noise made with an “s”-like quality, often associated with speech or air. The clue may also refer to something whispered or softly rustling. Read “sibilant” as the definition and “sound” as a noun indicating the noise itself, rather than as an instruction. Expect a short noun or sound-effect word; crossings and answer length will distinguish a literal hiss from a broader term for whispering or murmuring.
Small details in the wording can help you figure out what form the answer should take. Look for these three signals:
A past-tense clue usually calls for a past-tense answer: "Moved quickly" could be SPED, while "Moves quickly" could be SPEEDS. Match the tense, even when the answer uses an irregular form rather than ending in -ED.
A noun usually calls for a noun, a verb for a verb, and an adjective for an adjective. For example, "Happiness" could be JOY, "Make happy" could be PLEASE, and "Happy" could be GLAD. Read the whole phrase! Some words can function as more than one part of speech.
A singular clue usually needs a singular answer, while a plural clue usually needs a plural answer. "Child" could be TOT; "Children" could be TOTS. Remember that not every plural ends in -S: "Male adults" could be MEN, and words like SHEEP can be singular or plural.
