Giant snow man

YETI

This cryptid of the Himalayas is said to leave large footprints and is sometimes called the "Abominable Snowman" by explorers. Legends describe it as a hairy, ape-like creature lurking in high-altitude snows.

This clue plays on the idea of a "giant snow man," which at first might make you think of Frosty the Snowman—but the key is the word "giant." In folklore, the Yeti is a legendary, towering creature said to live in the snowy Himalayas, often called the "Abominable Snowman." The clue cleverly swaps a child’s snowman for this mythical beast, relying on the shared "snow" connection. It’s a straightforward definition with a hint of misdirection to keep solvers on their toes.
