The clue for today's crossword puzzle is "Bad-tembered taxi driver crossing river". The answer for this clue is "CRABBY". Let's break down the clue and see why the answer matches.

  • Bad-tembered: This is an interesting play on words, combining the words "bad" and "tempered". It suggests that the person being described has a negative or irritable disposition.
  • Taxi driver: This part of the clue indicates the profession or occupation of the individual being described. It helps narrow down the potential answer possibilities.
  • Crossing river: Here, the word "crossing" serves as a hint that we should look for a word that combines with "taxi driver" to create a new word or phrase. "Crossing river" suggests that we need to combine the words related to the occupation and a river.

Putting it all together, when we combine "bad-tembered" with "taxi driver", we get "crabby taxi driver". However, the additional clue of "crossing river" indicates that we need to consider a word associated with a river. In this case, "crabby" can be combined with "river" to form the word "CRABBY".
