We’re giving you a heads up because the answer to this clue can be very hard and tricky. The clue is Tennis US Open is played on it. This comes from the May 30, 2025, edition of the NYT Crossword puzzle for the across section. The answer seems like we’re looking for a location where the tennis game is played on. However, it’s not a location we’re looking for, or not even a material for the floor.
The answer is a bit different than what you would expect
The answer we are looking for to this crossword puzzle clue, which comes in three letters, is EDT. This means Eastern Daylight Time. So basically, we were looking for a time zone when the Tennis US Open is played. That makes sense, but that also makes it why it’s so hard to answer.
One wouldn’t think of a time zone when answering this clue. What makes it harder is that EDT isn’t a time zone that most people use, but rather, they go for EST. Both are completely different things, but EDT is the answer we are looking for.
