Okay, so today I was messing around with the NYT crossword, and I got stuck on a clue that said “weighing more.” At first, I was totally blank. I mean, how many words are there for that, right?
I started by trying to fill in other words around it, hoping that would give me some letters to work with. I managed to get a few, but it still wasn’t clicking. Then, I thought about synonyms for “weighing more.” Heavier? Nah, didn’t fit. More massive? Nope, too long.
- Heavier
- More massive
- Weightier
I started to get a little frustrated, so I took a break. I walked around, got some water, and just let my mind wander. Sometimes, you just need to step away for a bit, you know?
When I came back, I looked at the clue again, and suddenly it hit me. What about “weightier”? It’s kind of a formal way to say “heavier,” but it fit perfectly! I typed it in, and boom, it was right.
Honestly, it felt so good to finally crack it. It’s like that feeling when you finally figure out the answer to a puzzle you’ve been stuck on for ages.
My Takeaway
So, yeah, that’s my little crossword adventure for today. It’s funny how sometimes the answer is right there, but you just can’t see it until you take a step back and look at it from a different angle. Sometimes the simple puzzles can be much harder than we think.
