Well, let me tell ya, this here thing, this “feature of a deluxe pie and this puzzle,” it’s got me thinkin’. I ain’t no fancy scholar, but I reckon I can figure things out same as anyone.
What’s this all about, then?
Seems like folks are makin’ a big deal outta some kinda pie. And not just any pie, mind you, but a “deluxe” pie. Now, back in my day, a deluxe pie was just one with extra berries or maybe some fancy crimpin’ on the crust. But these city folks, they got all sorts of ideas.
- They talk about a “stuffed crust.” Sounds kinda messy to me, like they couldn’t make up their mind if they wanted a pie or a bread roll, so they just shoved ’em together. But I hear it’s popular.
- And this here puzzle thing? I ain’t never been one for them crossword puzzles. Too much thinkin’ for my old brain. But it seems this deluxe pie and the puzzle got somethin’ in common.
So, what’s the connection?
From what I gather, this ain’t just any puzzle. It’s one of them “rebus” deals. Now, I had to ask my grandson what that meant. He said it’s like when you use pictures and letters all mixed up to make a word. Sounds complicated, if you ask me. Like tryin’ to catch a greased pig at the county fair.
The “stuffed crust” seems to be the key. They say the puzzle is like that stuffed crust, all full of letters crammed into them little squares. It seems they shove letters into boxes just like they stuff that extra dough into the pie crust. Makes sense, I guess, in a roundabout way.
How do you solve one of these things?
Well, they say you gotta look for the longest words first. That’s where they hide the clues, apparently. Like findin’ the biggest strawberry in the patch, I reckon. Once you get a handle on that, the rest is supposed to fall into place. Easy for them to say!
This ain’t the first time folks been stumped by this. Seems this here puzzle popped up before, back in June. And folks been scratchin’ their heads ever since. They got these fancy websites and all, callin’ themselves “Crossword Solvers” and such. They claim they got all the answers, but I bet they still had to ask their grandma for help sometimes.
There ain’t just one answer, neither. Depending on which newspaper you’re lookin’ at, the answer might be different. It’s like askin’ ten different people how to make a good apple pie. You’ll get ten different answers, and they’re all probably right in their own way.
This puzzle ain’t easy, that’s for sure. But I reckon with a little bit of patience and maybe a good cup of coffee, anyone can figure it out. It’s like bakin’ a pie, you gotta follow the recipe but sometimes you gotta add a little bit of your own somethin’ somethin’.
Anyways, I’m getting’ tired of all this puzzle talk. Makes my head hurt. I’d rather be out in the garden, tendin’ to my tomatoes. At least with tomatoes, you know what you’re gettin’. You plant the seed, you water it, and you get a tomato. No fancy stuffin’ or rebus nonsense. Just good, plain food, like a good, plain pie.
But if you’re one for them puzzles, I wish you good luck. Seems like you’ll need it, with all this talk about deluxe pies and stuffed crusts and whatnots. Maybe my grandson can help you, since he knows all about this “rebus” business. Me, I’ll stick to makin’ pies, the old-fashioned way. No stuffin’, just good ol’ flaky crust and plenty of fruit. That’s a puzzle I can solve any day of the week.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think I’ll go bake myself a pie. All this talk about deluxe pies has got me hungry. But I ain’t gonna stuff it with no letters, that’s for sure. Just good, old-fashioned fruit. Maybe some apples, or maybe some peaches. Something simple, something that makes sense. And while it’s bakin’, I’ll just sit back on my porch, sip some tea, and leave the puzzle-solvin’ to the youngsters.
