Vacation axed to solve Capone's crime (3,9) Crossword Clue Answer
Let’s find the answers to Vacation axed to solve Capone's crime (3,9) for the July 02, 2024 edition of the crossword puzzle. Answer Contains 12 letters. Start with T and end with E, and the possible solutions are TEREBINTHINE, TELEUTOSPORE, TAX AVOIDANCE.
The answer is TAX AVOIDANCE.
"Vacation" suggests taking a break or absence, which can be synonymous with "leave" or "ax" in informal usage. In the context of Capone's crime, which typically refers to tax evasion (illegal non-payment or underpayment of taxes), the wordplay involves substituting "evasion" with "avoidance."
While evasion is illegal, avoidance refers to legally minimizing taxes through legitimate means. Therefore, "axed to solve" implies a change or substitution, where "evasion" is replaced by "avoidance" to fit the answer "TAX AVOIDANCE." Thus, the answer cleverly combines the idea of legally avoiding taxes, a contrast to Capone's illegal activities, encapsulated in the phrase "TAX AVOIDANCE."
