Mauna ___ LA Times Crossword Clue |
LEA |
Answer Explanation
The answer "LEA" for the clue "Mauna ___" refers to Mauna Lea, which is a play on the Hawaiian name "Mauna Kea." In Hawaiian, "Mauna" means mountain, and "Kea" traditionally means white, referring to the snow-capped peak of the mountain.
The crossword clue likely plays on this by using "Lea," which phonetically sounds like "Kea" but also relates to the word "lea," meaning a meadow or grassland, which fits well as a crossword answer due to its common usage in crossword puzzles. This type of wordplay is typical in crossword clues, where the clue itself may not always directly refer to the exact answer but uses language or phonetics creatively to lead to the solution.
