Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

In today's crossword puzzle, the clue "Any minute, old-style" is given, and the answer for this clue is "ANON".

This clue is a wordplay clue, where the word "Any" indicates that the answer will be a synonym of "minute", and "old-style" suggests that we should consider older or archaic variations of the word.

Here's why "ANON" fits the clue:

1. The word "minute" can mean "a short period of time".
2. In older English, there was a word "anon" that meant "soon" or "in a short time".
3. Since "anon" is synonymous with "minute" and is an old-style word, it matches the clue perfectly.

Let's break it down even further:

• The word "minute" can also mean "very small" or "tiny". But in this context, it refers to a short period of time.
• By replacing "minute" with "anon" in the clue, it reads "Any anon, old-style". This means "Any short period of time, old-style".
• The word "anon" is an archaic adverb that was used in the same way we use "soon" or "shortly" today.
• While "anon" is not commonly used in contemporary English, it's a perfect fit for the crossword clue as it satisfies both the definition and the old-style requirement.

Therefore, the answer for the clue "Any minute, old-style" is "ANON", referring to a short period of time in older English.
