Okay, so I was trying to figure out the “observes Yom Kippur” crossword, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a head-scratcher at first. I started by looking up some info online because, well, I’m not that familiar with all the religious holidays.
I found a few crossword solver websites, and they were spitting out tons of answers, like 30 or something! Way too many to just randomly try. The results said things like, “The Crossword Solver found 30 answers to Observes Yom Kippur,” or “September 29, 2024 answer of Observes Yom Kippur clue in NYT Crossword Puzzle. There is One Answer total.”
I narrowed down the search a little, I typed in “observes Yom Kippur” and “NYT crossword” into the search bar. I figured the New York Times crossword is pretty popular, so there had to be some specific solutions for that one, right?
The solver sites showed some possible answers with different letter counts. There was one that said, “All solutions for Observes Yom Kippur 17 letters crossword clue – We have 2 answers with 6 letters.” Hmm, 6 letters, that could be something. And another result is “Today’s crossword puzzle clue is a quick one: Observes Yom Kippur. We will try to find the right answer to this particular crossword clue. Here are the possible solutions for Observes Yom …” All the same meaning.
Then I remembered someone mentioning that “atones” could be related to observing Yom Kippur. Like, making up for sins or something. There was a clue definition: “‘observes yom kippur’ is the definition. This is all the clue. (Other definitions for atones that I’ve seen before include Makes amends for sin , Makes up for, say sin ).”
So, I typed “atones” into the crossword grid, and guess what? It fit! Six letters, and it seemed to make sense with the other words around it. There is another result showed “September 18, 2020 answer of Observe Yom Kippur E G clue in NYT Crossword Puzzle. There is One Answer total.” I don’t know what’s that mean “E G”.
What I did:
- Searched online for general answers to “observes Yom Kippur” crossword.
- Narrowed the search to the New York Times crossword.
- Looked for solutions with different letter counts, especially 6 letters.
- Remembered the word “atones” could be related to the clue.
- Typed “atones” into the grid, and it worked!
- Found a result that was “Here is the answer for the crossword clue Observes Yom Kippur last seen in New York Times puzzle. We have found 40 possible answers for this clue in our database. Among them.” But there are still 40 possible answers.
Turns out, sometimes you just need to think outside the box a little and try different words that might be connected to the clue. Feels good to finally crack it! Although it’s only one word, I hope I can find the rest of the answers.
