Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Cuckoo is rare in the foreign mountain range" leads us to the answer "SIERRA". Here's why:

1. The term "Cuckoo" refers to a bird known for its distinctive call and behavior. In crossword clues, animal names are commonly used to hint at specific letters or word patterns. In this case, "Cuckoo" suggests that we should pay attention to the "oo" sound or the letter combination "oo" in the answer.
2. The word "rare" indicates that the mentioned bird is not common in the given context. So, we can assume that the "oo" sound or "oo" letter combination is not commonly found in the answer word.
3. The phrase "in the foreign mountain range" implies that the answer is related to a specific geographical location. The use of "foreign" suggests that it might be a range that is outside the context of the crossword creator's location.
4. Putting the clues together, we focus on finding a word with the "oo" sound that is rare and connected to a mountain range.
5. The answer that meets these criteria is "SIERRA". It contains the "oo" sound, is not a common word, and refers to a well-known mountain range in foreign countries, such as the Sierra Nevada in Spain or the Sierra Madre in Mexico.

Therefore, based on the given clue, the most suitable answer is "SIERRA".
