Did you see it coming? The answer to three down in the Sept. 22 New York Times Mini Crossword is “SILLS.” The sills are the horizontal surfaces at the bottom of a window frame. They serve as a support for the window and they can also provide a space for decorations or plants to make your windows look pretty.
Window sills are often designed to be slightly sloped to allow rainwater to drain away from the window. The unique design helps prevent water from seeping into the building and protects against mold and rot, making them an essential feature for maintaining the integrity of the window and the building.
