Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue for today's crossword puzzle is "Copying" and the answer is "ALA". Here is an explanation of why this clue has this answer:

• The word "copying" implies that we are looking for a synonym or a word related to the act of copying something.
• In this case, "ALA" represents an abbreviation for the Latin phrase "ala vulpis" which means "in the manner of a fox's wing." This phrase is commonly used in heraldry.
• When something in heraldry ("copying" in this context) is done in the manner of a fox's wing, it means it is done diagonally or obliquely. The wings of a fox are distinctive for their diagonal positioning.
• So, in the context of this crossword puzzle clue, "copying" refers to something being done diagonally or obliquely, just like the manner of a fox's wing.

Therefore, the answer "ALA" is a suitable match for the clue "Copying" as it represents the diagonal or oblique positioning associated with the act of copying in heraldry.
