Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Up to the point that" corresponds to the answer "UNTIL" for several reasons:

• Temporal Relationship: The word "until" signifies a specific point in time that acts as a boundary or endpoint for an action or event. When something is described as happening "until" a certain time, it means the action continues up to that particular moment and stops there.
• Indicating Limitation: "Until" puts a limit on the duration of an action, similar to the clue hinting that something goes only "up to the point that" suggests a boundary or limitation to what is being described.
• Cessation: Using "until" implies that an action will cease at a certain point, which fits well with the idea of reaching a particular extent or limit as suggested by the clue "Up to the point that".

Therefore, the answer "UNTIL" aptly fits the clue "Up to the point that" as it conveys the concept of reaching a boundary or limit in terms of time or extent.
