Okay, so, today I want to talk about my little adventure with the “law” clue in the NYT crossword. I’ve been doing these crosswords for a while now, but this one, man, it got me scratching my head more than usual.
I started my day like any other, coffee in hand, ready to tackle the puzzle. I breezed through the first few clues, feeling pretty good about myself. Then I hit the “law” clue. My mind went blank. I mean, “law,” that’s pretty broad, right?
I decided to skip it for a bit and work on other clues, hoping something would click. I filled in a few more words here and there, but that “law” clue was still bugging me. So, I grabbed my phone and did a quick search. I found a couple of discussions about it, with people suggesting answers like “ohms” and some other stuff I didn’t quite get.
I tried “ohms” because I saw it mentioned as a recent answer somewhere. I plugged it in, and guess what? It fit! I was so relieved, I almost spilled my coffee. I went back and checked the date of the puzzle, and yeah, it was from a recent one.
But then, I started thinking, what if it wasn’t “ohms”? I saw some other dates being thrown around, like October 29th, October 28th, and even September 15th. So, I did a little more digging, trying to figure out what the answer might be for those dates.
- I looked at the October 28th clue and found some people talking about it, but no clear answer.
- Then I checked the September 15th one, and someone mentioned something about player positions in a game – keeper, beater, seeker, chaser. I’m not really into sports, so that didn’t help me much.
- And there’s also this thing about Wordle being in the NYT Crossword app now, which is cool, I guess, but didn’t solve my “law” problem.
Honestly, I ended up spending way more time on this one clue than I should have. But hey, that’s the fun of crosswords, right? You win some, you lose some. And sometimes, you spend half your morning chasing down the answer to a three-letter word.
At the end of the day, I realized that sometimes it is all about the small victories, like finally cracking that one stubborn clue. And other times, it is about learning something new, even if it is just a bunch of random facts from the internet. That is the interesting point of the NYT crossword.
