Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Pit-free" is a clever play on words that requires a bit of lateral thinking to connect it to the answer "STONED." Here's why this seemingly unrelated answer fits the clue:

1. Pit: In a typical crossword context, "pit" could refer to a stone fruit's pit, like a cherry or peach pit.
2. Free: When "free" is added to the concept of a pit, it might suggest the absence of it.

So, if you take "pit" as a stony object and then remove it based on the "free" hint in the clue, you are left with "stoned," which cleverly aligns with the initial idea of a pit that is now gone. This wordplay showcases the intricate and creative thinking required to solve today's crossword clue.
