V-six or V-twelve? NYT Crossword Clue Answer
Let’s find the answers to V-six or V-twelve? NYT for the June 30, 2024 edition of NYT crossword puzzle. Answer Contains 5 letters. Start with G and end with E, and the possible solutions are GAUZE, GRYKE, GEESE.
The answer is GEESE.
The crossword clue "V-six or V-twelve?" leads to "geese." This answer plays on the plural form of "goose," where "geese" phonetically resembles the letter "V" repeated, aligning with the engine configurations known as V-six (V6) and V-twelve (V12).
In automotive terminology, these refer to the arrangement of cylinders in a V-shaped configuration, with V6 engines having six cylinders and V12 engines having twelve cylinders. The clue cleverly uses wordplay by substituting "geese" for "V's," suggesting a playful association between the honking sound of geese (geese are known for their honking, which can sound like "V" repeated) and the engine types described. This kind of clue challenges solvers to think laterally, connecting phonetic similarities and contextual meanings to arrive at the correct crossword answer.
