Okay, so, you know how sometimes you’re just chilling, doing a crossword, and you get totally stumped? That was me the other day. I’m working on this puzzle, feeling pretty good, and then BAM! I hit a clue that just throws me for a loop: “Denzel Washington film of 2002.” I stared at it, drew a complete blank, and thought, “There’s no way I can figure this out.” My mind was running like a hamster on a wheel, and let me tell you, that hamster was getting nowhere fast.
But I’m not one to give up easily. I mean, who wants to leave a crossword unfinished? Not me. So, I figured, “Alright, let’s get some backup.” I grabbed my phone and started looking around for any kind of crossword solver or helper thing online. And let me tell you, there are a TON of these things out there. It’s kind of overwhelming. I clicked on a few, but they were all like, “Enter the clue, enter the letters you have,” and honestly, I just wanted something to do the work for me.
Then, after a bit of hunting, I stumbled upon this one site. It was super simple, no bells and whistles, just a search bar. It seemed to have many ways to search. I liked this idea, so I started with that one. I typed in “Denzel Washington film of 2002” and crossed my fingers. Seconds later, I saw lists with potential answers. It even mentioned something about the number of letters in the answers and sorting by relevance. I felt a little bit excited, like I was about to crack the code.
I browsed through, and noticed that some sites had like, 30 different answers. I also found another site claiming a database of over 350,000 words. Talk about going down a rabbit hole! But, you know what? It worked. There it was, plain as day, the answer I was looking for. Let me share a little secret with you:
- “John Q”
That was the movie! I plugged it into my crossword, and it fit perfectly. Seriously, I felt like a genius. It’s amazing what a little online help can do. I finished the rest of the puzzle feeling like a champ.
My Takeaway
