  1. 1A Worked undercover, like 007 SPIED

    The answer "SPIED" fits the clue because it describes the secretive actions of a spy. Just like James Bond, also known as 007, spies gather information without being seen. The word "worked undercover" suggests doing things in secret, which is exactly what spying involves. Therefore, "SPIED" is a perfect match for the clue.

  2. 6A Salad variety CAESAR

    Caesar salad is a popular type of salad made with romaine lettuce, croutons, and a special dressing. It often includes ingredients like Parmesan cheese and anchovies. The name "Caesar" comes from its creator, Caesar Cardini, who invented it in the 1920s. This makes "Caesar" a perfect answer for the crossword clue about a salad variety.

  3. 7A Ad ___: Ogilvy and Mather, say AGENCY

    The clue "Ad ___: Ogilvy and Mather, say" refers to a type of business that creates advertisements. Ogilvy and Mather is a well-known advertising agency, which fits perfectly with the word "agency." In this context, "Ad agency" is a common term used to describe companies that specialize in marketing and advertising. Therefore, "agency" is the correct answer to the crossword clue.

  4. 8A One of the names used by Krishna to address Arjun in Mahabharat PARTH

    In the Mahabharata, Krishna often calls Arjun by the name "Parth." This name refers to Arjun's lineage, as he is the son of Pritha, another name for Kunti, his mother. Using "Parth" shows their close relationship and highlights Arjun's noble heritage. This name is significant in their conversations, especially during the Bhagavad Gita.

  1. 1D Epic tale, like Mahabharat SAGA

    A "saga" is a long and detailed story, often involving heroic deeds and important events. The Mahabharata is an epic tale from ancient India that tells the story of a great war and the struggles of its characters. Because both a saga and the Mahabharata share these qualities of being grand narratives, "saga" is a fitting answer to the clue.

  2. 2D Part of 360 degree review PEER

    In a 360-degree review, feedback comes from various sources, including peers. Peers are coworkers or colleagues who work alongside an individual and can provide valuable insights about their performance. This makes "peer" a fitting answer, as it highlights the importance of input from those who are familiar with someone's work. Overall, peer feedback is essential for a well-rounded evaluation.

  3. 3D "Money ____ everything" ISNT

    The phrase "Money isn't everything" suggests that while money is important, it is not the most valuable thing in life. The word "isn't" fits perfectly in the blank, making the phrase complete and meaningful. This saying reminds us that happiness, love, and relationships can be more significant than financial wealth. Therefore, "isn't" is the right answer for the crossword clue.

  4. 4D Individually EACH

    The word "each" means every single one in a group. It refers to items or people considered one by one. For example, if you say "each student," you are talking about every student individually. This makes "each" a perfect fit for the crossword clue "individually."

  5. 5D Paneer Manchurian: ___ or gravy DRY

    Paneer Manchurian can be made in two ways: dry or gravy. The "dry" version has less sauce, making it more like a snack or appetizer. In contrast, the gravy version is saucier and served with rice or noodles. Therefore, "dry" fits perfectly as it describes one popular style of Paneer Manchurian.

  6. 6D Tube top? CAP

    The clue "Tube top?" can be interpreted in a playful way. A tube top is a type of clothing that is a simple, straight piece of fabric. The word "cap" fits because a cap is also a type of covering, similar to how a tube top covers the upper body. Both items serve to cover and can be seen as fashion accessories.
