Cracking the Code: “Apple and Amazon’s Industry, for Short”

Ah, the dreaded “for short” clues. They can be the bane of any crossword solver’s existence, particularly when the subject matter involves complex industries. Today’s clue, “Apple and Amazon’s Industry, for Short”, is a prime example.

It’s easy to get caught up in the literal meaning of the words: “apple” and “amazon” conjure images of fruit and a giant online marketplace. But the clue isn’t asking for the literal definition; it’s searching for a shortened term that encompasses both companies’ primary areas of business.

This is where the “for short” element really comes into play. We’re looking for a commonly used abbreviation or acronym that represents the overarching industry these giants dominate.

Think about the core services both companies offer. What shared term encapsulates their business model?

Don’t get discouraged if the answer eludes you initially. Sometimes, stepping away and returning to the clue with fresh eyes can be the key to unlocking the solution.

Good luck, fellow crossword enthusiasts! I’m confident you’ll crack this one.
