Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼This clue — “Thunder, but not Lightning” — could have been much trickier if the word Lightning hadn’t been capitalized, but the editors aren’t that cruel, at least not on a Thursday. This is a “veiled capital” clue, which is covered in our solving guide in the “Cracking the Harder Clues” section. This type of clue hides a proper noun, which would have a capitalized first letter, at the beginning of the clue sentence, which would also be capitalized. So the Thunder is not an atmospheric rumble, it’s an N.B.A. TEAM, whereas the Lightning is not.
