So, I gave the “drench” clue from the NYT crossword a try today. It took me a bit of time to figure it out.
First off, I checked out the clue’s details. It popped up recently, on March 30th, to be exact. Not much to go on, but hey, it’s a start.
Then, I started digging around for possible answers. Turns out, there are quite a few that could fit, like 12 of them! I went through each one, trying to see which made the most sense in the context of the crossword.
Honestly, I stumbled a bit. I came up with a couple of words that seemed like they might work, but they just didn’t quite solve the clue. It was a bit frustrating, but that’s part of the fun, right?
I learned that crosswords can have all sorts of clues, from simple definitions to tricky wordplay. There are even some common abbreviations that show up a lot, so it’s good to brush up on those. I read that starting with the Monday puzzle is a good idea for newbies because it is the simplest.
