Taxi

CAB

Think of a three-letter vehicle you might hail on a busy city street, often painted yellow in some places.

"Taxi" is a straightforward clue where the answer is a common synonym for the word. In many English-speaking places, "cab" is short for "cabriolet," an old term for a horse-drawn carriage that evolved into slang for a taxi. The clue doesn’t rely on wordplay—it’s just testing your knowledge of everyday terms for a hired car. Think of the yellow cabs you’d hail in a city.
