Okay, so I was stumped by this crossword clue today: “implements plans starts with ta”. I stared at it, and stared at it, and… nothing. My brain was totally blank. Usually, I’m pretty good at these things, but this one had me completely lost.
First, I tried just brainstorming words that started with “ta”. You know, like “table,” “tackle,” “tangerine”… the usual suspects. But none of those seemed to fit the “implements plans” part. It was super frustrating!
Then, I decided to switch gears. I thought, “Okay, what’s another word for ‘implements’?” I came up with things like “carries out,” “executes,” “performs”… still nothing that clicked with “ta”.
So, I went online, I did a google search “implements plans starts with ta crossword clue”, because at this point that’s my last hope, right? I try to find something useful for me, but nothing!
I was about to give up, seriously. I figured I’d just leave it blank and come back to it later. Maybe with fresh eyes, I’d see something obvious.
But then, I decided to try one more thing. I focused on the “plans” part of the clue. What do you do with plans? You make them, sure, but what else? And then it hit me… you take action on them!
Could it be? I typed in “TAKESACTION”… and it fit! Oh my goodness, the relief! It was such a simple answer, but my brain just wouldn’t go there at first. It is really a simple thing!
So, the big takeaway for me is, sometimes you gotta step back and look at the clue from a different angle. Don’t get stuck on one way of thinking. And sometimes, the most obvious answer is the right one, even if it takes a while to see it!
