Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle
Today's clue "Low card in a royal flush" is a clever word-play that requires understanding of both card games and poker hands. A royal flush is the highest-ranking standard poker hand consisting of five cards: ace, king, queen, jack, and ten, all of the same suit. In this hand, the "high card" traditionally refers to the highest card in the sequence, which is the ace. However, the clue indicates the opposite by asking for the "low card" in the royal flush. Therefore, among the cards in a royal flush, the lowest one is indeed the TEN. This discrepancy between typical card ranking terminology and the specific context of a royal flush in poker makes "TEN" a fitting and satisfying answer to this crossword clue.
Definition of "TEN"
equivalent to the product of five and two; one more than nine; 10
