Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

Today's clue "Stupid alien in copse" leads us to the answer "THICKET" for several reasons:

• Stupid: This clue indicates a lack of intelligence or awareness. In the context of a crossword puzzle, "stupid" could be a synonym for something dense or thick.
• Alien: Here, "alien" might refer to something unfamiliar or out-of-place. In a copse, it could represent an entity that doesn't belong, hence highlighting the idea of something dense or tangled amidst the vegetation.
