Okay, so I was totally stumped by this crossword clue today: “cherish”. I mean, I get the basic meaning, like to hold something dear, to treasure it, but the crossword needed, like, a six-letter word. My brain was just blank!
So, I did what anyone would do, right? I went to my tools.
My Process of Searching
- Thought process: First, I tried to just think of synonyms. I sat there, staring at the ceiling, muttering “cherish… love… adore… value…” Nothing was clicking for six letters.
- Getting Help: Then, I figured I will do some search, typing in “cherish crossword clue” into the search bar.
- Checked Results:A ton of those crossword solver sites came up. I just picked one that looked straightforward.
- Typed It In:I typed “cherish” into their little search box, and bam! A whole list of possible answers popped up.
Most of them didn’t fit, of course, because they weren’t six letters. But there it was: “TREASURE”. Bingo! Six letters, and it totally fits the meaning of “cherish.”

Reflection
It’s funny how the simplest words can trip you up sometimes. I was probably overthinking it, trying to be too fancy. Sometimes, the most obvious answer is the right one. And hey, that’s why these crossword solver sites are so great. They’re like a little lifeline when your brain just decides to take a coffee break. I definitely felt a little victorious after cracking that clue. On to the next one!
