Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Characters that get addressed" with the answer "LETTERS" may seem abstract at first, but it cleverly connects the concept of "addressed" in two different contexts. Here's why the answer fits perfectly:

• Letters as Characters: In the world of communication, "letters" are the characters of the alphabet used to form words and sentences. When we write a letter or type an email, we address these characters to convey a message. So, in a literal sense, the characters in words and sentences are indeed "characters that get addressed."
• Letters as Mail: On another level, "letters" can also refer to pieces of written correspondence sent through mail. In this context, letters are physical entities that receive specific addresses for delivery. People address envelopes with these letters to ensure they reach the intended recipients.

By combining these two interpretations of "letters," the puzzle successfully encapsulates the idea of characters being addressed both in written form and as physical mail. It's a creative play on words that challenges solvers to think beyond the obvious and make connections between different meanings of the word "letters."
