Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Artist returning without painting finally dropped" can lead us to the answer "SAGGED." Let's break down the clue to understand the connection with the answer:

1. Artist: This gives us a clue that we are looking for a word related to an artist.
2. Returning: This indicates that we need to reverse a word or part of a word.
3. Without painting: Here, "painting" is used figuratively, suggesting that we need to remove a specific part of a word. In this case, we eliminate the letters "P," "A," "I," "N," "T," "I," "N," and "G."
4. Finally dropped: The word "finally" points to the end of the word, and "dropped" means we need to remove the final letter. So, the last letter of the remaining word needs to be dropped.

By considering all these components, we determine that the word "SAGGED" fits the clue perfectly. Being an artist, when they "dropped" their painting (eliminating "P,A,I,N,T,I,N,G"), the result is "SAGGED." This answer aligns with the reversal indicated by "returning" and the removal of the final letter mentioned in "finally dropped."
