Okay, so I was trying to solve this crossword puzzle the other day, and I got totally stuck on this one clue: “equal.” It was only a few letters, and I just couldn’t figure it out. It was driving me crazy!
First, I tried to think of synonyms for “equal.” You know, words like “same,” “identical,” “even,” things like that. I scribbled them all down on a piece of paper, trying different combinations in the puzzle, but nothing was fitting. It was so frustrating!
Brainstorming and Searching
- Thought about synonyms: same, identical, even… Nope.
- Looked at the crossing letters: Still nothing.
Then, I thought, “Maybe it’s not a straight-up synonym.” Maybe it’s a word related to “equal,” I grabbed my phone and started searching, I typed “equal crossword clue” into the search bar.
After a bit of scrolling and checking, I finally started seeing a clue. It’s could be related to match, or level in games.
The “Aha!” Moment
I went back to my puzzle, my heart beating a little faster,I tired the word. And guess what? It fit perfectly! I filled in, feeling like the smartest person in the world.
It just goes to show you, sometimes you gotta think outside the box, and sometimes, you just need a little help from searching. Either way, it’s super satisfying when you finally crack that clue!
