Clue: MONOPOLY TOKEN RETIRED IN 2013
Answer: IRON
We have the answer here for April 1, 2025.
Explanation:
The clue “MONOPOLY TOKEN RETIRED IN 2013” refers to a game piece that was officially removed from the classic board game Monopoly in a vote conducted by Hasbro. The answer to this clue is “IRON,” which was one of the original Monopoly tokens but was replaced in 2013 by a cat token.
The iron token had been part of the game for decades, representing everyday household items common at the time Monopoly was created. However, as Monopoly fans voted for a new token, the iron was discontinued in favor of a more modern and popular symbol. This historical change makes “IRON” the correct and fitting answer to this crossword clue.
