Crossword Answer: Calm host heads off, just shy (6)
Let’s find the answers to Calm host heads off, just shy (6) for the August 19, 2024 edition of crossword puzzle. Answer Contains 6 letters. Start with A and end with T, and the possible solutions are ABJECT,ABDUCT,ALMOST.
The answer is ALMOST.
"Calm host heads off, just shy" involves some wordplay and requires a careful breakdown. The phrase "heads off" suggests that we should remove the first letter (or "head") of the word "host." When we do this, we are left with "ost." The word "calm" can mean "composed," which is similar in meaning to "almost" calm.
Additionally, "just shy" is a synonym for "almost," meaning not quite or just under. Therefore, when you take "ost" (from "host" with the "h" removed) and consider the meaning of "calm" as being nearly complete, the answer ALMOST fits perfectly.
