Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Ending for north, south, east, or west" has the answer "Ern." This might seem like an unusual answer at first glance, but it is a common suffix that appears in compass directions to indicate a specific point. Here's why this clue matches the answer:

1. The word "Ern" is a shortened form of "eastern." It is derived by taking the last three letters of "eastern" which is a direction often used in geographical contexts such as maps or compasses.
2. Similarly, in compass directions, you have "north," "south," "east," and "west." Adding "-ern" to the end of these words indicates a specific direction within the cardinal points.
3. For example, "northern" comes from "north," "southern" from "south," "eastern" from "east," and "western" from "west." Therefore, "Ern" serves as the common ending that denotes a direction on a compass.

In crossword puzzles, it's common to encounter abbreviations, shortened forms, or specific word endings like "Ern" that might not be as commonly used in everyday language but are crucial for fitting the puzzle's structure and logic. This answer, though concise, fits the clue perfectly once you understand its connection to compass directions.
