persona non grata crossword – All Crossword Answers

More About "persona non grata crossword"

The Latin phrase "persona non grata" translates directly to "an unwelcome person." While it has a specific meaning in diplomacy, referring to a foreign person whose presence is prohibited by a government, in general usage and crosswords, it refers to anyone considered undesirable or excluded. This clue often tests your vocabulary for synonyms of "outcast," "reject," or "undesirable individual."

When "persona non grata" appears in a crossword, the answer rarely is the literal Latin phrase itself due to its length and the puzzle's structure. Instead, setters look for shorter, single-word synonyms that capture its essence. This makes it a great clue for solvers to demonstrate their understanding of nuanced vocabulary and idiomatic expressions.

Consider the context of the puzzle – is it a themed puzzle? Are there other Latin clues? This can sometimes give a hint towards whether a diplomatic term or a more general synonym is expected. Our listed answers cover the most common interpretations you'll encounter.

Tips For Your Next Puzzle

• Consider synonyms and antonyms: For clues like "persona non grata," think about words that mean the same or the opposite. Sometimes a clue is a roundabout way to get to a simple concept.
• Check letter counts carefully: Always double-check the number of letters required for an answer. This is your most reliable guide and can eliminate many possibilities instantly.
• Look for common crossword patterns: Many common crossword answers are short words that fit a variety of themes. Familiarize yourself with frequently appearing words like "ERA," "ORE," "EEL," or "ARC," as they can often fill in tricky spots.
• Utilize crossing letters: Don't try to solve a difficult clue in isolation. Use the letters you've already filled in from intersecting words to narrow down the possibilities for the tough ones.
