Still fighting

As a detective, my first step in solving the mystery of the crossword clue ‘Still fighting‘ would be to closely scrutinize the wording of the clue. ‘Still‘ suggests that the solution must indicate a lack of interruption or persistence, while ‘fighting‘ implies conflict or struggle. That led me to think about acronyms that could fit the bill. Strangely enough, I remembered a particularly obscure abbreviation from my college days – ‘INIT‘. After doing a quick search, I confirmed that it stood for ‘initialization‘, which is a process that ensures that a computer program or hardware system is fully operational and ready to use. This made perfect sense as a fit for the clue, since the initialization process ensures that a system keeps running smoothly and efficiently, without any hiccups or interruptions. It was an ‘aha‘ moment that perfectly, and probably improbably, answered the clue.
