Okay, so today I was messing around with the crossword, and I got totally stumped by this clue: “dumpsters.” I stared at it for like, five minutes. Nothing. Blank. My brain just wouldn’t cooperate.

So, first, I tried to think of anything related to dumpsters. You know, trash, garbage, bins… the usual suspects. Nope. Nothing seemed to fit the number of letters I needed.
Then, I started going through the alphabet in my head, trying to see if any letters would spark an idea. “A… dumpster… B… dumpster…” It was slow, and frankly, a little painful.
After that, I decided to look at the intersecting words. Maybe the letters I already had filled in could give me a hint. I examined them closely, trying to see any patterns. It was like detective work, only with fewer clues and more frustration.
Finally, I gave up and did what anyone would in this totally frustrating digital age. and see if anything popped up.
And there you * totally gave me the answer,and I could finish it.
