Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle
The clue "Back copper protecting you and me from distant relative" leads us to the answer "SECONDCOUSIN". Here's an explanation of why this clue has this answer:
1. "Back copper" refers to the word "second" in the answer. In crossword puzzles, "back" often indicates the reversal or rearrangement of letters. Therefore, we need to consider the word "second" backwards.
2. "Protecting you and me" suggests that the word "copper" should be placed around the pronouns "you" and "me", resulting in the letters "c" being placed before "you" and "me".
3. Combining the letters we have so far, "second" backwards and "c" protecting "you" and "me", we get "secondc".
4. "From distant relative" implies that we need to add the word "relative" to the previous letters. Putting it together, we have "secondcousin".
This answer fits perfectly with the clue, as a second cousin is a more distant relative than a first cousin. The clues and their corresponding answers often require a keen sense of wordplay and lateral thinking, and "SECONDCOUSIN" is a prime example of that.
