Feel 41-Across
Answer:
AIL
Hint:
Think of a minor illness that might make you say "I'm not feeling well" but isn’t serious enough for a doctor’s visit.
Explanation:
This clue is a "feel" definition paired with a reference to another answer in the grid. "41-Across" is the answer you’d fill in at that position, and "AIL" means to feel unwell or troubled. The trick is realizing "feel" here isn’t about touch but about experiencing something—like an ailment. So, if 41-Across is something you’d "feel" in the sense of suffering from, "AIL" fits perfectly.
