Thirst

YEN

Not available

Yen" is a clever play on the word "thirst" because it’s a homophone for "yarn," which sounds like "yearn"—meaning a strong desire or craving. But in this case, it’s also a nod to the Japanese currency, yen, which adds a layer of wordplay by making you think beyond the obvious. The clue hints at a longing (like thirst) while leading you to a short, unexpected answer.
