The clue for today's crossword puzzle is "Checkers double-decker" and the answer is "KING". Let's examine why this clue has this answer:

• The first word in the clue, "checkers," refers to the game of checkers, which is also known as draughts. In this game, one of the main objectives is to promote a piece to a higher rank.
• The term "double-decker" is a clue that indicates we are looking for a piece that can move in two directions, vertically and horizontally, on the game board.
