Okay, so I was trying to solve this crossword puzzle, and I was totally stumped by one clue: “w e i g h t”. I mean, what could it be? My mind was racing through all sorts of possibilities.
First, I grabbed a pen and paper, you know, the old-fashioned way. I started jotting down anything that came to mind related to “weight.”
- Scale?
- Heavy?
- Pounds?
- Ounces?
- Mass?
- Burden?
None of these seemed to fit the number of letters in the puzzle. I was starting to get frustrated! Then, it was just sitting, with blank head, staring at the cross gird.
I even tried googling “words associated with weight,” but that just gave me a huge list of scientific terms and stuff I didn’t understand. It was way too complicated for a simple crossword!
So,I decided to take a * a cup of coffee.I walked around, stretched a bit, and tried to clear my head. Sometimes you just need to step away from a problem to see it clearly, right?
When I came back, I looked at the crossword grid again, focusing on the letters that intersected with the “w e i g h t” clue. And suddenly, there is a cross letter “T”, so I fill it with “TON”.BINGO! it hit me!
That’s fit perfectly! I felt so silly for not seeing it earlier. It was so obvious! But hey, that’s how it goes with crosswords, sometimes the simplest answers are the hardest to find.
