Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

Today's clue is "Drunk crossing Channel Islands? It's legal," and the answer is "LICIT."

This clue involves a play on words and requires some lateral thinking to understand the connection between the clue and the answer. Let's break it down:

1. Drunk: The word "drunk" suggests that the answer might be related to alcohol or intoxication.
2. Crossing: The word "crossing" indicates that there is some sort of movement or intersection happening.
3. Channel Islands: The Channel Islands are a group of islands located in the English Channel.
4. It's legal: The phrase "it's legal" implies that whatever is crossing the Channel Islands is permitted or acceptable.

The answer, "LICIT," can be derived by combining the various components of the clue:

1. The word "drunk" suggests the idea of being intoxicated, and if we use the letters from "drunk" and combine them with "LI" (as in the Channel Islands), we get "LI+DRUNK."
2. Next, we need to find a word that means "it's legal" or permissible. The answer here is "CIT" (a shortened form of "citizen") which signifies legality.
3. When we combine "LI+DRUNK+CIT," we get the word "LICIT."

Therefore, the answer "LICIT" fits the clue perfectly, as it represents something permissible or legal that is crossing the Channel Islands.
