We’re taking a look at a clue from the NYT Mini Crossword puzzle dated December 10, 2024. The clue itself is obvious for all to see. The answer is a five-letter word that will fill up the down section of this puzzle.
What’s obvious for all to see is something that’s not covert
The answer is the line above, but we’ll remove the letter C, so it’s OVERT. Covert means to do something in secret or hidden. It’s like those covert operations where not many people know, except for the people involved. Overt is the opposite of covert, which means what the clue states.
Overt is defined in a straightforward manner, meaning to show openly or something that is out in the open. When used in a sentence, it can come out something like “The woman wearing the bikini was being overt with her body at the beach.” That gives you the idea of what overt really means.
