Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle
The clue for today's crossword puzzle is "At the front, novice loses head with jockey and one of the old raiders." The answer for this clue is "NORSEMAN."
Let's break down the clue to understand why the answer is "NORSEMAN":
- "At the front": This indicates that we need to look for a word that starts with the letters "AT."
- "Novice loses head": "Novice" refers to a beginner, and "loses head" means we need to remove the first letter. So, we remove the first letter from "NOVICE" and get "OVICE."
- "With jockey": Here, "jockey" is a hint that suggests we should add "MAN" to the previous result. So, "OVICE" plus "MAN" becomes "OVICEMAN."
- "One of the old raiders": This is an additional clue indicating that we need to find a word related to ancient warriors or raiders. "NORSEMAN" fits this description perfectly.
Combining all the clues and their corresponding actions, we get:
- "At the front" = "AT"
- "Novice loses head" = Remove first letter from "NOVICE" = "OVICE"
- "With jockey" = Add "MAN" to "OVICE" = "OVICEMAN"
- "One of the old raiders" = "NORSEMAN"
Therefore, the answer to the clue "At the front, novice loses head with jockey and one of the old raiders" is "NORSEMAN."
