Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Lowest high tide" corresponds to the answer "NEAP" in today's crossword puzzle. Here's why this answer fits the clue:

• Neap Tides: Neap tides are the tides with the least difference between high and low water levels. During a neap tide, the high tide is lower than usual, hence the term "Lowest high tide."
• Moon's Position: Neap tides occur when the sun, moon, and earth are positioned at right angles, resulting in moderate tides. The gravitational forces of the sun and the moon partially cancel each other out, leading to lower high tides.
• Tide Cycle: In a typical tide cycle, neap tides happen around the first and third quarters of the moon when the gravitational pull is at its minimum, causing the smallest difference between high and low tides.

In conclusion, the answer "NEAP" perfectly aligns with the clue "Lowest high tide" based on the natural phenomenon of neap tides and their characteristics.
