| Letter that’s silent – and then not silent – in “Wednesday” NYT (3). | DEE. |
The crossword clue "Letter that’s silent – and then not silent – in 'Wednesday'" refers to the letter "DEE." In the word "Wednesday," the pronunciation often omits the first "D," making it seem silent, as many people pronounce it as "Wens-day." However, when the word is pronounced more slowly or enunciated clearly, the "D" sound can become more apparent, making it not silent. This dual nature of the letter "D" in the pronunciation of "Wednesday" is captured perfectly by the clue, and the answer "DEE" directly represents the letter "D" in a phonetic form.
