Crossword Clue: Sea Moses parted, biblically
Here's the answer to the Sea Moses parted, biblically crossword clue, with an explanation and where it has appeared.
Definition & answer: RED
The answer to "Sea Moses parted, biblically" is RED. Red is a 3-letter word made up of 1 vowel and 2 consonants, beginning with R and ending with D. In a crossword grid it occupies a 3-square slot, and each of its letters also forms part of a word crossing it — so even if the clue stumps you, the crossing entries will usually hand you enough letters to fill it in.
Origin & meaning
The Red Sea lies between Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, connected to the Indian Ocean. It is one of the saltiest and warmest seawater bodies on Earth.
Common usage
Red turns up frequently in crosswords precisely because of that letter mix. Short, vowel-friendly words like RED are a constructor's best friend: they interlock cleanly with longer entries and help a grid come together without awkward letter clashes. When you see a 3-letter slot and already have a crossing letter or two, RED is often quick to confirm — especially once the R or D is in place.
Crossword trivia
Because it is only 3 letters long, RED appears far more often in daily mini and themed puzzles than longer, more obscure words. Regular solvers come to recognize it on sight, and it is exactly the kind of entry worth committing to memory: the more common short words you know cold, the faster your solve times become.
Stuck on this clue?
If "Sea Moses parted, biblically" has you stuck, don't force it — jump to the clues crossing this slot instead. Filling in even one or two intersecting letters usually makes RED obvious. That crossing-first approach is the single most useful habit for improving at crosswords, and it works on everything from the quick daily Mini to a full Sunday grid.
