Okay, so I saw this phrase “walked for a cause” in the NYT crossword today, and I was like, “Huh, I wonder what that’s all about?” I’m not a super-experienced crossword person, I usually just do the mini, you know, because it’s quick and fun, but I thought to try to find what the meaning might be.
First, I grabbed my phone and just Googled the phrase itself. Nothing super helpful came up, just some general stuff about charity walks, I figured I’d try a different approach.
Digging Deeper
So, I started thinking about the words separately. “Walked,” obviously, past tense of walking. “For a cause”… that means doing something to support a belief or a goal, usually a charity thing, right?
- I considered maybe it was some specific event.
- I checked a few crossword solver websites.
- I am trying to find the answer in the NYT crossword.
I typed “walked for a cause crossword clue” into Google, Finally, Bingo!
So, yeah, basically, it’s just referring to any kind of event where people walk to raise money or awareness for something. Could be a breast cancer walk, a fundraiser for a local school, anything like that. Nothing too mysterious, I just needed to look it up.
