Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

Today's clue "WNW's opposite" is a classic example of a geographic direction clue, where the answer is a compass direction that is opposite to the one mentioned. In this case, WNW stands for "West-Northwest." To determine the opposite direction, we need to think in terms of the cardinal directions on a compass.

To arrive at the answer "ESE" for "WNW's opposite," we must apply our knowledge of compass points:

1. West-Northwest (WNW): This direction is indicated as a point slightly between the west and northwest on a compass, specifically between 281.25° and 303.75°.
2. Opposite Direction: The opposite of WNW would be the direction directly opposite on the compass rose, which is East-Southeast (ESE).

By understanding the relationship between the compass points and their opposites, we can easily deduce that for every westward movement, the opposite would be an equal eastward movement, and for every northwest movement, the opposite would be southeast.
