Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

Today's crossword clue is "Allege prophet corrupted one holding the line" and the answer is "TELEGRAPH POLE."

Let's break down the clue to understand why the answer is "TELEGRAPH POLE."

1. Allege prophet corrupted: The word "allege" suggests that we are looking for a verb. "Prophet" refers to someone who predicts the future or delivers divine messages. "Corrupted" indicates that the letters of the word have been rearranged. Putting it together, we need to find a verb that means predicting or delivering messages with some letters rearranged.
2. One holding the line: Here, "one" indicates a person, and "holding the line" suggests someone or something that is connected to a communication line. We are looking for a noun.

Combining both parts of the clue, we get the answer "TELEGRAPH POLE." Let's see how the clue elements fit:

1. In regard to "allege prophet corrupted," the word "allege" is the verb we were looking for, meaning to claim or assert without proof. "Prophet corrupted" provides the anagram indicator, indicating that the word "prophet" needs to be rearranged. Once the word is rearranged, we get "TELEGRAPH."
2. Now let's consider "one holding the line." "One" refers to a person, and "holding the line" suggests something related to communications. A telegraph pole is a structure that holds the telegraph lines, making it a perfect fit for this part of the clue. Additionally, "TELEGRAPH" can be associated with predictions and messages, which aligns with the prophet theme from the first part of the clue.

Therefore, "TELEGRAPH POLE" is the correct answer that satisfies all the requirements of the clue. It combines the verb "allege" with the anagram "prophet corrupted" to form "TELEGRAPH" and connects it to the noun "pole" from "one holding the line."

Happy solving!
