What does FALCON mean?
FALCON (noun): a fast, diurnal bird of prey with long, pointed wings, often trained for falconry. Example: “The falcon dove at incredible speed to catch the pigeon mid-flight.”
Similar: hawk, raptor, bird of prey.
Did you know? The peregrine falcon, a close relative, is the fastest animal on Earth, reaching diving speeds of over 240 miles per hour.
Using FALCON in a sentence
In falconry, the word has its own vocabulary: the handler is a falconer, a male falcon is a tiercel, so called because he's about a third smaller than the female, and a leather hood keeps the bird calm. Birdwatchers separate falcons from hawks by more than speed: falcons have a notch on the beak, called a tomial tooth, which they use to dispatch prey, while hawks rely mainly on their talons. The name also goes to things built to be fast, from SpaceX's Falcon rockets to Han Solo's Millennium Falcon in Star Wars.
How FALCON fits the puzzle
FALCON circles F, L and O, the F and L of FULL and the O of OF.
