Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Friend disembowelled duck" leads to the answer "QUAKER" for the following reasons:

1. Friend: In this context, "Friend" refers to someone friendly or amicable.
2. Disembowelled: This word indicates a process of removing the bowels or guts from a creature.
3. Duck: In a crossword puzzle, "Duck" often serves as a term for the letter "Q."

Therefore, putting these clues together, we get "QUAKER." Here's the breakdown:

• "Friend" without its insides: Removing the inside of "Friend" leaves "FRIEN," which hints at "FRIEND" without the "D."
• Substitute "Duck" with "Q": Swapping "Duck" with "Q" gives us "QU," combining with the earlier part to form "QU" + "FRIEN" = "QUFRIEN," spelling out "QUAKER."

This kind of wordplay and clever manipulation of language elements is common in crossword puzzles, requiring solvers to think creatively and decipher hidden meanings to arrive at the correct answers.
