Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle
The clue "Axel relative" in today's crossword puzzle leads us to the answer "LUTZ". Here's why:
- In figure skating, an axel is a jump technique where the skater takes off from a forward edge and completes one and a half revolutions in the air before landing.
- A Lutz is also a jump technique in figure skating, and it is closely related to the axel jump.
- In both the axel and the Lutz, the skater takes off from a forward edge, but while the axel jump is done with a forward takeoff and a forward landing, the Lutz jump has a backward takeoff and a forward landing.
- By describing the Lutz jump as an "Axel relative," the clue is highlighting the connection between these two figure skating jumps that share similarities in their takeoff techniques.
Therefore, "LUTZ" is the correct answer for the clue "Axel relative" in today's crossword puzzle.
