Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "SSE's opposite" is asking for a direction that is the complete opposite of south-southeast (SSE) on the compass. The answer given for this clue today is "NNW," which stands for north-northwest. Here's why "NNW" fits the clue perfectly:

• Opposite Direction: In this context, "opposite" means directly contrary or completely different. South-southeast is a specific direction, so the opposite direction would be on the opposite side of the compass.
• Compass Points: The compass rose is divided into 360 degrees, with 0 degrees representing north, 90 degrees representing east, 180 degrees representing south, and 270 degrees representing west. Going clockwise from north, north-northwest is 337.5 degrees, which is opposite to 157.5 degrees (SSE).
• Cardinal Directions: The cardinal directions are north, south, east, and west, with the ordinal directions like northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest falling in between. North-northwest falls opposite to south-southeast in this cardinal direction system.

So, in the context of directional opposites on a compass, the answer "NNW" is the appropriate response to the clue "SSE's opposite."
