IVE

Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "-- been had!" has a 3-letter answer: IVE

The answer "IVE" can be derived from the clue "-- been had!" by breaking it down into its individual parts:

  1. The word "been" is past participle form of the verb "be".
  2. The word "had" is the past tense of the verb "have".

When combined, "been" and "had" imply the completion of an action or experience in the past. We often use the contraction form "I've" in English to express this meaning.

The clue "-- been had!" hints at the phrase "I've been had!", which is an informal way of acknowledging that one has been deceived or tricked. In this case, the answer "IVE" represents the contraction form of "I have".

The puzzle designer cleverly uses wordplay to create a clue that leads to the answer "IVE". By understanding the meaning and context of the clue, solvers can make the connection and confidently fill in the corresponding answer in the crossword grid.

Remember, solving crosswords challenges our linguistic and analytical skills, and figuring out the relationship between clues and answers can be both satisfying and enjoyable. Happy puzzling!
