Okay, so today I was trying to figure out this “courtside” crossword clue. I’ve been into crosswords lately, it’s a nice way to kill some time and keep the brain ticking. But this one was a real head-scratcher.
First, I tried to think of any words that relate to “courtside”. You know, basketball stuff, maybe even tennis. My brain was throwing out words like “referee”, “net”, “baseline”, nothing clicked. I even googled “courtside” just to see if anything would jog my memory. Nope, still stuck.
Then, I started looking at the other clues around it, hoping they’d give me some hints. Sometimes, you can figure out a word by getting a few letters from the crossing words. I managed to get a couple of letters, but it still wasn’t making any sense. It was like trying to put together a puzzle with half the pieces missing.
- Looked at the number of letters in the clue.
- Checked for any double meanings or puns.
- Considered different types of courts – not just sports.
I almost gave up, to be honest. But then, I decided to take a break, get a cup of coffee, and come back to it with fresh eyes. And guess what? It worked! After staring at it for a few more minutes, the word just popped into my head. It was “seats”! Of course! Courtside seats!
It’s all about persistence
Man, I felt so good after solving that clue. It’s funny how the brain works, right? Sometimes you just need to step away for a bit, and then bam! The answer is right there. It is all about patience, isn’t it? Anyway, that’s my little crossword adventure for today. Maybe it will encourage someone who is also doing the crossword puzzle.
