The cryptic clues: That Merciless One and Heather are getting together now

The answer: MINGLING

What’s the difference between mingle and mix?

“Mix” usually means to blend something together, like ingredients for a cake, for example. “Mingle” usually refers to people interacting with other people, as in “We went to the cocktail party to mingle.” You could use “mix” in that sentence, as well, but not as effectively, and you would not say “I mingled the ingredients for the cake.”
