Crossword puzzles are a popular word game that typically takes the form of a square or rectangular grid of white and shaded squares.
The goal is to fill the white squares with letters to form words or phrases, by solving clues that intersect each other. Clues are usually given for both the across (horizontal) and down (vertical) words.
Answer
The answer is UPSIDE DOWN CAKE.
Answer Explanation
The Correct Answer is Leading players put by a new dock that's reproduced some sweet food? (6,4,4) Crossword Clue is "UPSIDE DOWN CAKE".
"Leading players" suggests taking the initial letters of significant words. In this case, it's "UP" from "Leading players." "put by" indicates that the next part of the answer should follow or come after "UP." "a new dock" could refer to a synonym for "dock" that starts with a new letter. "Dock" could be a reference to "PIER," and a new letter before it could be "P," giving us "PUP."
"that's reproduced" suggests an anagram of the phrase. So, we rearrange the letters in "PUP" to get "UP." "some sweet food" refers to the final part of the answer, which is "SIDE DOWN CAKE," a type of dessert.
