Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

Today's clue, "... caught Scotsman, not initially Geordie fence," leads us to the answer "CORDON." Here's why this answer fits the clue:

1. Caught Scotsman: In crossword clues, "caught" can often be represented by the letter "C," a common abbreviation. The term "Scotsman" indicates the letter "ORD," which is a typical way to clue those letters in crosswords.
2. Not initially Geordie: The phrase "not initially" suggests we should remove the first letter of "Geordie," giving us "eordie." This alteration results in the remaining letters "ORD," which align with the previous clue component.
3. Fence: In this context, "fence" can refer to a boundary or barrier, which corresponds to the concept of a "cord" or "cordon" used to enclose or demarcate an area.

Therefore, the answer "CORDON" is a fitting solution to the cryptic clue provided in today's crossword puzzle.
