Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue for today's crossword puzzle is "Artist takes jetty to be a weapon" and the answer is "RAPIER". Let's break down the clue and explain why this answer fits.

1. The clue starts with "Artist takes jetty". In crossword puzzles, words like "takes" often indicate that we need to find a synonym or a hidden meaning. In this case, "artist" refers to a 3-letter word: "art".
2. Next, we have "jetty". A jetty is a structure that extends into the water and acts as a pier or a landing place for boats. However, in this clue, "jetty" is used as a homophone. It sounds like the word "jetti" or "yeti", which refers to a big, hairy, mythical creature.
3. The clue then says "to be a weapon". This indicates that we are looking for a word that can mean "weapon".

If we put all the pieces together, we have "art" (artist takes) + "jetti" (jetty) + "to be a weapon". When we pronounce these elements together, it sounds like "art jetti (yeti) rapier".

A "rapier" is a slender, two-edged sword primarily used for thrusting. It fits perfectly with the clue because a rapier can be considered a weapon. The wordplay in the clue cleverly leads us to the answer "RAPIER".

So, the answer to today's crossword clue "Artist takes jetty to be a weapon" is "RAPIER".
