Largest U.S. city with a majority-Hispanic population

Answer:

SANANTONIO

Hint:

This Texas city is home to the historic Alamo and hosts one of the biggest annual festivals celebrating Hispanic culture, Fiesta San Antonio.

Explanation:

This clue asks for the biggest U.S. city where over half the residents are Hispanic. San Antonio, Texas, fits perfectly—it’s the seventh-largest city in the country and has a long-standing Hispanic cultural influence, from its history as a Spanish colonial outpost to its modern-day demographics. The answer is written as one word, "SANANTONIO," which is common in crosswords to save space, even though it’s usually spelled with a space in normal writing.
