Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Fine leaving ace, taking king instead in moving forward" leads to the answer "PROGRESSIONAL" for the following reasons:

1. Fine leaving ace: In this context, "fine" can refer to the word "not a penalty," which in sports like golf, is denoted by the word "pard." In card games, "ace" is a valuable card. Therefore, removing "ace" from "fine" gives us "fin," which can also mean something coming to an end.
2. Taking king instead: By taking "king" instead of the "ace," we are left with "ping," which could allude to a sound or signal that signifies progress or movement.
3. In moving forward: This part of the clue hints at moving ahead or progressing, which aligns with the concept of a "PROGRESSIONAL," someone or something that signifies or involves progression.

Putting these elements together, the answer "PROGRESSIONAL" makes sense in the context of the clue's wordplay and the theme of advancement implied throughout the clue.
