Okay, so today I was trying to solve this crossword puzzle, and one clue really got me thinking. The clue was “Facebook feature.” I thought, “Man, Facebook has so many features, which one could it be?”
I started by listing out all the features I could think of. You know, things like:
- News Feed
- Messenger
- Groups
- Events
- Marketplace
But none of these seemed to fit the spaces in the crossword. They were either too long or too short. So, I started digging around on the internet, looking for crossword puzzle help sites.
I visited a few different sites, and what I found was pretty interesting. A lot of these sites had databases with tons of crossword clues and their possible answers. I typed in “Facebook feature” on a few of them, and got a whole bunch of different results.
One site had three possible answers, another had 40, and yet another had 30! It was a bit overwhelming, to be honest. Some of the answers that kept popping up were:
- CHAT (4 letters)
- TIMELINE (8 letters)
- POKE (4 letters)
- WALL (4 letters)
- LIKE (4 letters)
Depending on the specific crossword puzzle I was doing, the answer could be any of these. For example, one site said the clue was last seen in The LA Times quick crossword, while another mentioned the Daily Themed Mini Crossword. Apparently, the date when the puzzle was published also matters, because crossword answers can change over time.
I looked at my crossword puzzle, counted the empty spaces that I needed to fill. Finally, I found the correct one from the answers I got from those sites.
It’s kind of cool to see how many different answers there can be for a single clue, and how these crossword databases keep track of all the possibilities. It’s like a whole community of word nerds helping each other out!
Anyway, I just thought it was a fun little adventure to share. It definitely made my morning coffee a bit more interesting. Hope you guys find it somewhat useful, too!
