Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Bishop runs to a vessel" leads us to the answer "BOAT".

Let's break down the clue to understand why "BOAT" fits:

1. Bishop: In chess, a bishop is a piece that moves diagonally. Here, "bishop" is not referring to the chess piece, but rather to a specific abbreviation used in crossword puzzles. In crosswords, "B" is commonly used to represent "bishop."
2. Runs: The word "runs" can be understood as an instruction to abbreviate the word following it. In this case, it tells us to abbreviate the word "to" to its first letter, "T".
3. To a vessel: This phrase tells us that we need to combine the abbreviation for "bishop" (B) with an abbreviation for a vessel. The abbreviation for vessel is commonly "O".

Putting it all together, we have "B" (bishop) + "O" (vessel), giving us the answer "BO". However, the clue asks for a full answer, so we need to add one more letter.

In this context, the word "a" indicates that we need to insert the letter "A" after "BO". This gives us the final answer of "BOAT", which is a type of vessel.

So, the answer to the clue "Bishop runs to a vessel" is "BOAT".
