Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Constitution opener?" leads us to the answer "USS". Let's explore why this answer fits the clue.

The clue "Constitution opener?" is a clever play on words. It can be interpreted in two ways:

  1. Referring to the opening line of the United States Constitution, which is "We the People."
  2. Referring to the opening of the abbreviation "USS," which stands for United States Ship.

In this context, the second interpretation is the correct one. The abbreviation "USS" is commonly used to designate a ship from the United States Navy. Ships in the U.S. Navy are named using this prefix followed by the ship's name. For example, USS Constitution is a famous historic naval ship.

The term "Constitution" in the clue therefore refers to a ship with "USS" as its prefix. The word "opener" suggests that this ship is the "opener" or the first ship mentioned in the puzzle. By combining the two interpretations, we arrive at the answer "USS."

To summarize, the clue "Constitution opener?" leads us to the answer "USS" because it cleverly combines references to both the opening line of the United States Constitution and the abbreviation used for United States Ships in the Navy. By solving this clue, crossword enthusiasts can test their knowledge of naval terminology and enjoy the intricate wordplay.
