Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Flow back, as a tide" directs solvers to think about a situation where the tide is receding or decreasing in strength. This action of the tide pulling back or decreasing is commonly referred to as its ebb. Here's why "EBB" fits perfectly as the answer to this clue:

• Flow back: The term "ebb" specifically describes the movement of the tide when it flows back towards the sea, away from the shore.
• Decreasing tide: In tidal terms, "ebb" signifies the period when the water recedes or diminishes in height along the shoreline.
• Contrast to "flow in": While "flow in" may suggest an incoming tide, "ebb" uniquely captures the opposite scenario where the tide is retracting.
