Okay, so today, I wanna talk about this “Central position” crossword clue that’s been floating around. I saw it first on the Newsday puzzle, then it popped up on the New York Times Crossword on January 29th, 2024. It seems like a real head-scratcher, and I figured, why not try to crack it together?
So, I started digging. I checked out a bunch of those crossword solver websites. One of them said they found like 30 possible answers, another one mentioned 40. That’s a lot! It felt a bit overwhelming, to be honest. These clues can be so tricky, right?
I also noticed that the possible solutions varied quite a bit in length. The shortest one I found was “HUB”, just 3 letters. Then there was this long one, “CENTRIPETENCE,” which is a whopping 13 letters! How am I supposed to narrow it down from something so short to something that long? It felt like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Then I focused on the more recent appearances of the clue. The one on January 29th in the New York Times Crossword only had one answer, apparently. That got me thinking, maybe the more recent ones are a better place to start. So, I found this one from May 18th, and guess what? The answer was “MIDST.”
That felt like a real breakthrough! “MIDST” makes a lot of sense for “Central position,” right? It’s like being in the middle of something. This is one of those cases where the solution feels so obvious once you see it.
- First, I started searching online to see what kind of answers other people were finding.
- Then, I looked at a bunch of crossword solver sites and saw a ton of different possibilities.
- I noticed the answers ranged from super short (3 letters) to really long (13 letters).
- After that, I decided to focus on the most recent clues, thinking they might be more relevant.
- Finally, I found the answer “MIDST” for the May 18th puzzle, and it clicked!
So, there you have it. It took some digging, some comparing, and a bit of luck, but I think “MIDST” is a pretty solid answer for “Central position” in the crossword. What do you guys think? Did anyone else try to solve this one? Share your thoughts, I’m curious to hear them!
