How the wordplay fits
ARUDE completes the phrase “a rude awakening.” CTRLX is the source’s unpunctuated rendering of the PC cut shortcut, Ctrl+X. CARTE completes “à la carte,” and UTURN describes the maneuver in the clue. SCUBA and KENYA answer the aquatic and Nairobi clues; NATAL, SNACK, BADLY and ALEXA match their respective definitions or examples.
The clue-and-answer list is also published in Parade’s June 11 guide; the date and clue set appear in Try Hard Guides’ answer page and The Word Finder’s archive.
