Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Artificial leg picked up universal criticism" corresponds to the answer "PYLON" for the following reasons:

  1. Artificial leg: In this clue, "artificial leg" serves as a cryptic reference to the prefix "PYL" in the answer "PYLON." Just like an artificial leg is a prosthetic replacement for a natural body part, the term "PYL" is an artificial construction within the word.
  2. Picked up: The phrase "picked up" indicates that a reversal or backward reading is required. In this case, "PYL" is reversed to "LYP."
  3. Universal criticism: The term "universal criticism" hints at the idea that "LYP" may be a universally condemned or negatively perceived sequence of letters. By combining the reversed "LYP" with the initial "ON," we get "LYP" + "ON" = "PYLON," thus resolving the clue.
Therefore, the answer "PYLON" is deduced by interpreting "Artificial leg picked up universal criticism" according to the given cryptic clues.
