Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue for today's crossword puzzle is "Cut down on tips for how engine works", and the answer is "HEW".

Let's break down the clue to understand why "HEW" is the correct answer:

1. The clue starts with "Cut down". This suggests that we need to find a word that means to chop or reduce in size.
2. The clue also mentions "tips". This indicates that we need to take the first or last letters of certain words.
3. The final part of the clue is "for how engine works". This provides the context for the word we need to find.

Now let's connect these elements to the answer "HEW":

1. "Cut down" can be synonymous with "hew" as both words refer to chopping or reducing something.
2. The word "how" in the clue is a hint that we need to consider the first and last letters of "engine works". The first letter of "engine" is "e" and the last letter of "works" is "s". Combining them gives us "es".
3. Putting it all together, we connect "hew" with "es" to form the word "hewes". However, it's important to note that "hewes" is not a valid word. In crossword puzzles, sometimes single letters can be used as answers. In this case, "es" represents the letter "s". Therefore, the answer is "HEW" which is formed by combining "hew" with the letter "s".

So, the answer to today's crossword clue "Cut down on tips for how engine works" is "HEW".
