Leaves a Relationship
Some crossword clues love to be dramatic, but this one is all about phrasing. “Leaves a relationship” might make you think of breaking up, walking away, or even ghosting. But if the answer is PARTS COMPANY, we’re dealing with a more old-school, formal way of saying splitting up. This phrase isn’t just for romance—it can also apply to business partners, friends, or anyone going their separate ways. It’s the kind of term you might hear in classic literature or a dignified farewell speech.
Possible Answers:
- PARTS COMPANY – The elegant way of saying we’re done here.
- BREAKS UP – A common, everyday term for ending things.
- ENDS IT – Straight to the point, no fluff.
- WALKS OUT – If the breakup involves a dramatic exit.
Sneaky Alternatives:
- SEVERS TIES – A little more final and businesslike.
- BIDS ADIEU – If the puzzle is going for a dramatic, poetic touch.
- GHOSTS – A modern spin on an old problem—just disappearing.
- CALLS IT QUITS – Casual but effective.
