Hey folks, so, I was messing around with the New York Times Mini Crossword the other day, you know, just killing some time. And I stumbled upon this clue, “Fare eaten by scavengers,” which got me thinking.
At first, I was like, “What the heck does that even mean?” It’s kinda one of those clues that make you scratch your head. So I started digging around, trying to figure it out. I read through a bunch of stuff online, just to see if anyone else had cracked it.
Turns out, a lot of people were also stumped by this one. I found some forums and pages where people were sharing their guesses, and it seemed like a real mixed bag. Some were way off, others were getting closer.
After a bit of searching, I came across a few sources that all pointed to the same answer: “Carrion.” It makes sense when you think about it, right? Scavengers eat dead animals, and carrion is basically just a fancy word for that.
But it wasn’t just about finding the answer. I also noticed that another clue in the same crossword was “Did some chauffeuring.” I thought about it and tried to recall what I know about that. I remembered someone said “Drove” is the word for the clue! The answer is simply “Drove.” It’s pretty straightforward when you think about it.
This whole thing got me thinking about how these little crossword puzzles can be pretty tricky sometimes. It’s not always about knowing the answer right away, but more about the process of figuring it out. You gotta piece together the clues, maybe do a little research, and eventually, it all clicks.
- I started by trying to understand the clue itself.
- Then, I looked online to see what others were saying.
- I found a bunch of different guesses and ideas.
- Eventually, I discovered the answer “Carrion” through some online sources.
- Also, I solved another clue which is “Did some chauffeuring,” and the answer is “Drove.”
It’s kinda like a mini-adventure, you know? You start with a mystery, go on a little quest for the answer, and then finally, you get that “aha!” moment. It’s a fun little brain workout, and it’s always satisfying to crack the code.
So, yeah, that’s my little crossword story.
It’s not exactly a groundbreaking discovery or anything, but it was a fun little experience, and I thought I’d share it with you all. Maybe it’ll inspire you to try out the Mini Crossword sometime, or maybe it’ll just give you a little something to think about.
Anyways, that’s all for now. Keep on puzzling, folks!
