Fail, with “out” – A Crossword Conundrum

Ah, the joy of a challenging crossword clue! Sometimes they’re straightforward, sometimes they’re tricky, and sometimes they leave you scratching your head, muttering under your breath, and staring at the grid with a sense of utter defeat. Today’s clue is one of those head-scratchers – “Fail, with “out”” – a seemingly simple phrase that hides a more complex answer.

Let’s break down the clue and see if we can crack this cryptic puzzle.

“Fail”

– This part of the clue is relatively clear. It suggests a negative outcome or a lack of success.

“With “out””

– This is where things get interesting. The phrase “with out” hints at a word that includes the letters “out.” But what word could that be?

Could it be something related to an absence or exclusion? Perhaps a word that signifies a lack of something? Or maybe it’s something completely unexpected?

As you ponder the possibilities, remember that the answer must fit the grid’s size and the intersecting letters.
