The answer to the clue “appearance of the marine creature” in the NYT crossword is likely “ASPECT”. Here’s why: in crossword clues, “appearance” can be a synonym for aspect, and “of the marine creature” is a subtle misdirection pointing to the type of wordplay rather than a literal definition. It fits the style of NYT clues, where the surface reading can be tricky.
