“All ___!” (conductor’s call)
Answer:
ABOARD
Hint:
Not available
Explanation:
This clue mimics a conductor’s shout when a train is about to depart, filling in the blank with a word meaning "on the train." The phrase "All aboard!" is a classic railway term urging passengers to board before departure. The answer is simply the missing word, "ABOARD," which fits both the literal call and the crossword’s letter count.
