So, today’s little adventure involved a crossword puzzle, the LA Times one, to be precise. I’ve been doing these things on and off, just for kicks, really. Today’s had this clue that caught my eye: “Headwear featured four times in this puzzle.”
I started filling in the grid, you know, the usual back and forth. Got some words here and there, but this “headwear” thing had me stumped for a bit. I mean, there are tons of words for things you wear on your head, right?
I kept plugging away, and then, bam, it hit me. The puzzle was designed in a way that this one type of headwear was repeated. It was a kind of “aha!” moment, you could say.
- First attempt: Tried to think of common hat names.
- Second go: Looked at the letters I already had in the grid.
- Realization: Noticed a pattern, a repetition, in the structure of the puzzle.
The big reveal
After a few more minutes of staring and thinking, I zeroed in on BUCKET HAT. I checked and rechecked, and yep, it fit perfectly. It was laid out in the grid in a way that it appeared four times, just like the clue said. From left to right and top to bottom, it was all there.
It wasn’t just about getting the answer; it was like solving a mini-mystery within the crossword itself. Pretty neat, I gotta say. I leaned back, feeling pretty darn satisfied with myself. Just another day, another crossword puzzle conquered!
