Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

In today's crossword puzzle, we have a clue that reads, "Current caught diving waterbird coming back - it's seen as a danger to shipping." The answer to this clue is ICEBERG.

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

1. Current: This refers to the flow of water, typically in a river, ocean, or sea.
2. Caught: This indicates that something has been trapped or entangled.
3. Diving waterbird: This points to a bird species that is known for diving into the water in search of food.
4. Coming back: This suggests that we need to reverse or go backward in the word.
5. Danger to shipping: This indicates that whatever the answer is, it poses a threat or risk to ships.

Putting these clues together, we can deduce that the answer is ICEBERG. Here's why:

• An iceberg is made up of frozen freshwater, and it often floats in oceans or seas.
• Strong ocean currents can trap or "catch" icebergs, preventing them from drifting away quickly.
• The "diving waterbird" part of the clue may refer to a bird like a penguin, which dives into the water to catch fish. Penguins are often found in regions with icebergs.
• Reversing the word "diving" gives us "gnivid."
• Combining "gnivid" (coming back) with "waterbird" gives us "gnividwaterbird."
• Taking the word "gnividwaterbird" and adding the idea of a danger to shipping leads us to the answer "ICEBERG," as icebergs are notorious hazards for ships due to their size and potential for collision.

Therefore, the answer to today's clue, "Current caught diving waterbird coming back - it's seen as a danger to shipping," is indeed ICEBERG.
