Landing with a Bang: Cracking the “Arrived on the Airport Runway” Clue

Crossword puzzles are a wonderful way to exercise your brain and vocabulary, but sometimes they throw us a curveball. This week, I’m tackling a particularly tricky clue that left me scratching my head: “Arrived on the airport runway.”

This clue is a classic example of a “double-meaning” clue. It’s not just about the literal act of landing on a runway, but it’s also playing with words. It’s like a linguistic riddle, and deciphering it requires us to think outside the box.

Let’s break down the clue:

“Arrived”

: This suggests a verb, an action of coming to a destination.

“On the airport runway”

: This is our literal location, the place where planes land.

However, the clue is also hinting at something more than just a simple arrival. We need to look for a word that relates to both the act of landing and a word with a double meaning.

This is where our crossword solver instincts kick in. We need to consider:

Homophones

: Words that sound the same but have different meanings.

Slang

: Words that have a specific meaning within a particular context.

Figurative Language

: Words that use metaphors or similes to convey a meaning.

Don’t worry, we’ll get to the answer soon, but for now, let’s keep our minds open to all the possibilities! After all, that’s the fun of solving a crossword.

So, are you ready to crack this clue with me? Let’s see if we can unlock the hidden meaning behind “Arrived on the airport runway“!
