Part of R&R and R.I.P. NYT Crossword Clue
Searching for the answer to “Part of R&R and R.I.P.” in today’s NYT Mini Crossword? Look no further! We’ve provided the solution to help you finish the puzzle and make the most of your crossword-solving experience.
The answer to "Part of R&R and R.I.P." is REST.
REST fits “Part of R&R and R.I.P.” because it’s the shared word/idea in both abbreviations. In R&R, the letters commonly stand for “rest and relaxation” (or “rest and recuperation”), so REST is literally one part of that phrase. In R.I.P. (“rest in peace”), REST is the key verb again—what someone is said to do after death. The clue uses a classic NYT trope: one answer that works in two different familiar abbreviations. And just like the Folder for unfinished emails Crossword Clue leads to DRAFTS by pointing to a standard, widely recognized label, this one expects you to recognize the most common word tied to both abbreviations: REST.
