Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Fish consumed after missing meal of steak?" leads us to the answer "SKATE." Let's dissect why this answer fits the clue perfectly:

• Fish: SKATE is a type of fish, so the word "Fish" in the clue points us towards a fish-related answer.
• Consumed after missing: In this context, "after missing" indicates that we need to remove something from the word "consumed." When we remove the word "meal" from "consumed," we are left with "consume," which hints at removing a part of the word itself.
• Meal of steak: The phrase "meal of steak" suggests that the word we remove is related to steak or beef, leading us to take out "meal" from "consumed."
• Putting it together: After removing "meal" from "consumed," we are left with "con." Placing the remaining letters "con" after "skate" gives us the full answer of "SKATE," which is a type of fish and fits the clue.

So, the clever wordplay in this clue uniquely combines elements of food and fish to guide solvers to the correct answer, "SKATE."
