Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

This clue asks for a fruit that is obtained by combining the name "Adam" with a word meaning "falsehood." The answer to this clue is "LIME."

Let's break down the clue to understand why "LIME" fits:

1. "Adam" refers to the biblical character who is said to have been the first man on Earth.
2. "Finally taken in" indicates that we need to include the last letter of "Adam" in our answer. The last letter is 'm'.
3. "Falsehood" suggests that we should combine "Adam" with a word that means a lie or deception.
4. In English, the word for a lie or falsehood is "lie." If we insert the letter 'm' (the last letter of "Adam") into the word "lie," we get "lime."

Therefore, "Adam finally taken in by falsehood gets fruit" implies that by inserting the letter 'm' into the word "lie," we get the fruit "LIME."

Crosswords often contain clues that require a bit of wordplay and lateral thinking to solve. In this case, the clue cleverly uses the biblical reference to Adam as a starting point, and then combines it with the idea of a falsehood to lead us to the answer "LIME." By understanding the hidden meaning and the connections suggested by the clue, we can successfully solve this crossword puzzle.
