Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle
The clue "Fitzgerald and Joyce" leads us to think of two well-known writers: F. Scott Fitzgerald and James Joyce. However, neither of their full names fits the alphabetic length of the answer, suggesting a different approach. In this case, the answer "ELLAS" is a clever twist. Instead of focusing on the authors themselves, the clue hints at their works. The key here lies in the translation of the authors' names to another language: "Fitzgerald" in Greek translates to "F?t?t???a??t" which phonetically sounds like "?????." Similarly, "Joyce" in Greek is "?????"—sounding like "Ellas" when anglicized. Thus, the answer "ELLAS" is a linguistic play on the authors' names by hinting at their Greek equivalents. This requires a shift in perspective from thinking of the authors directly to considering the phonetic resemblance in another language.
