Alright, so I messed around with this thing called an “exclusion crossword.” Sounds kinda complicated, right? But it’s not that bad, actually. I got into this whole crossword thing a while back, just for something to do, you know? It’s like a little brain workout, keeps things interesting.
So, I started by just looking at the crossword, seeing what’s what. This “exclusion” part means you gotta figure out what letters are missing, kinda like a puzzle within a puzzle. I started filling in the words I knew for sure, the easy ones, just to get the ball rolling.
Then I got to the tricky part, the “exclusion.” I looked at the letters I already had in the puzzle and tried to see which ones were missing in each row and column. There are many methods to solve it. It’s a bit of a brain teaser, but that’s the fun part, right?
Here’s a tip I figured out: Sometimes, if you’re stuck, it helps to look at the words that are already filled in. They can give you clues about what letters might be missing in the other words. I did that, and it really helped me out.
After some back and forth, filling in a word here, erasing a letter there, I finally got it! It took some time, no lie, but I finished the whole thing. It’s a good feeling, like you accomplished something, even if it’s just a crossword.
So, that’s my little adventure with this exclusion crossword. It’s a fun way to kill some time, and it’s kinda satisfying to solve it. If you’re into crosswords or just looking for a little mental challenge, I’d say give it a go. You might surprise yourself! If you really want to try it, I suggest start from some simple ones to get familiar with the rules and how it works.
Here is what I did step by step:
- Started with the easy words to get some letters on the board.
- Used the “exclusion” part to figure out the missing letters.
- Looked at the filled-in words for clues.
- Took my time, erased some mistakes, and kept going.
- Finally solved the whole thing. Feels great!
Yeah, that’s about it. It’s a fun little brain game. Give it a try if you’re bored!
