Stumped by a D.C. Riddle? Unlock the Abbreviated Title!

As a detective delving into the mystery of the crossword clue “Title in D.C.: Abbr.”, I initially pondered the context surrounding the clue. Knowing that D.C. refers to the capital city of the United States, it became apparent that the answer should be a title associated with the government or politics. With this in mind, a surge of potential answers raced through my mind: SEN (abbreviation for Senator), GOV (short for Governor), and even MAY (indicating the Mayor of D.C.). However, as I began to weigh my options, I considered the abbreviation’s fundamental meaning: Representative. It clicked! “REP” not only fits the limited space but also refers to the title of a member of the U.S. House of Representatives serving in the nation’s capital. With a rush of excitement, I confidently penned “REP” into the crossword, knowing full well that my thinking and insights had led me to the solution, unraveling yet another fascinating mystery within the puzzling world of crosswords.
