Crossword puzzles are a fantastic way to challenge your brain, expand your vocabulary, and escape for a bit. But sometimes, even the most seasoned solver can get stumped. Today, we’re tackling a clue that might leave you scratching your head:
“Tennis serve that isn’t touched by the opponent.”
This clue, while seemingly simple, can be tricky if you’re not a tennis aficionado. Don’t worry, we’re here to break it down and help you get that satisfying “aha!” moment.
