Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Base runners?" leads us to the answer "AWOLS". Here's why:

1. The term "base runners" refers to players in the game of baseball who are currently on one of the four bases during a play.
2. In the context of crossword puzzles, clues often have a twist or a hidden meaning. Instead of the obvious interpretation of "base runners" referring to baseball players, we have to think outside the box.
3. When we replace "base" with its military connotation, it leads us to think about soldiers or military personnel.
4. The word "runners" suggests movement or action.
5. Putting all these clues together, we can deduce that the answer must be a term that represents soldiers or military personnel who are on the move or absent without official leave (AWOL).

So, the answer to the clue "Base runners?" is "AWOLS". It plays with the double meaning of "base" and "runners" to misdirect us towards the baseball interpretation, while actually hinting at soldiers who are absent from their assigned posts.
