Puzzled by ‘Start to love’? Can’t crack this crossword clue?

As a detective, solving the mystery of a crossword clue requires a keen sense of deduction and a deep understanding of language. When faced with the clue “Start to love?” and a 3-letter word space, my mind began to wander through various possibilities, carefully analyzing the question at hand. The word “start” indicated the need for a word that begins with the letter ‘L’, but it was the inclusion of the question mark that intrigued me. Crossword puzzles often employ wordplay or double entendre to misguide the solver. At this moment, it struck me – the puzzle was playing with the word “love” by using its beginning, which is ‘L’. The clever misdirection was now clear. My instincts told me that the combination of the letter ‘L’ and the word “start” could produce the word “ELL,” a synonym for the word “angle” or a corner. It was this realization that allowed me to confidently write ‘ELL’ into the crossword puzzle, solving the mystery of the clue and moving one step closer to unraveling the entire puzzle.
