Okay, so “bad blood nyt crossword” was trending, and I, like everyone else, got curious. I’m not a regular crossword person, but hey, why not give it a shot?
First, I googled “bad blood nyt crossword” to even see what the fuss was about. Turns out, it’s a clue that’s appeared in the New York Times crossword puzzle a few times, and people often get stuck on it.
Then, I headed over to the NYT Games website. Found the crossword section and started a new puzzle. I figured I’d scan for the clue, but honestly, I wasn’t even sure what day’s puzzle it would be in. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I decided to tackle some of the easier clues first, just to get a feel for the puzzle. You know, build up some confidence. Some of them were pretty straightforward, fill-in-the-blank type stuff. Others? Totally stumped me. I mean, who knows that much about obscure opera terms?
After struggling for a good 20 minutes, I finally spotted it: “Bad blood.” Five letters. Hmm. I racked my brain. Was it “FEUD”? Seemed like a possibility. I tentatively penciled it in.
- I tried a few connecting words, and it seemed to fit!
- I was feeling pretty good.
- Maybe I was a secret crossword genius?
I kept working on the puzzle, using “FEUD” as an anchor. And it worked! It actually helped me figure out some of the other surrounding clues.
I won’t lie, I didn’t finish the whole thing. Crosswords are hard! But, I did get that one clue, “bad blood,” and it felt like a major victory.
My takeaway?
Crosswords are a fun challenge, even if you only get a few answers. And sometimes, the internet hype is justified. “FEUD” was indeed the answer, at least this time. Now I’m kind of tempted to try another one tomorrow…
