Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Thar ___ blows" with the answer "SHE" may seem puzzling at first, but it relates to a classic literary phrase. In this context:

  1. Thar: Refers to the archaic term for "there." In the original phrase, it expresses a sense of location or direction, often used in seafaring contexts.
  2. Blows: Implies the action of emitting air or making a gust of wind. It signifies movement or the direction of the wind.

Putting these elements together, the full phrase "Thar she blows" is a well-known expression traditionally associated with whale-watching. When a crew sighted a spouting whale, the lookout would shout "Thar she blows!" to alert others to the whale's location. The pronoun "she" is used here to refer to the whale, following a long-standing maritime tradition of assigning feminine pronouns to ships and sometimes marine creatures.
