Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

In today's crossword puzzle, the clue "Summer shade" corresponds to the answer TAN. This connection may not be immediately obvious, so let's break it down:

1. Summer: During the summer months, people spend more time outdoors, exposing their skin to the sun.
2. Shade: While shade typically refers to a cooler, darker area out of direct sunlight, in the context of this clue, it hints at the change in skin tone due to sun exposure.

When the sun is strong, many individuals spend time in the sun, leading to a deepening of their skin tone, commonly referred to as a tan. Therefore, the answer "TAN" is a clever play on words, linking the concept of changes in skin color during the summer season to the term "shade" in a crossword puzzle context.
