Let’s find the answers to Appropriate when flightless birds return for the July 13, 2024 edition of the crossword puzzle. Answer Contains 6 letters. Start with A and end with E, and the possible solutions are ABJURE, ABLATE, ASSUME.
The answer is ASSUME.
The crossword clue "Appropriate when flightless birds return" with the answer "ASSUME" is a great example of how wordplay and cryptic crossword techniques combine to form a clever solution. The phrase "flightless birds" specifically refers to EMUS, which are large, non-flying birds found in Australia. The word "return" in cryptic crosswords often indicates that the letters should be reversed.
Therefore, reversing "EMUS" gives us "SUME." Now, the clue needs to fit the definition part, which is "appropriate." The word "assume" fits this definition well, as to "assume" something can mean to take possession of it, similar to appropriating it. Thus, "SUME" from the reversed EMUS, with an "A" at the beginning, completes the word "ASSUME," linking the wordplay and definition perfectly to solve the clue.
