So, the other day, I was working on this crossword puzzle, right? And I came across this clue, “Elevated for driving.” It totally stumped me. I mean, I stared at it for a good while, scratching my head, trying to come up with anything that made sense. Nothing.
Then I did what any normal person would do – I went online to see if anyone else had solved it. I found out that this clue had been in the LA Times Daily puzzle. Apparently, it was last seen on November 4, 2023.
I started digging around different crossword solver sites. One site claimed there were 40 possible answers in their database. Another one said they found 30. It seemed like this was a pretty tough clue.
- First, I tried to think of synonyms for “elevated.”
- Then I focused on words related to “driving.”
- I even tried to combine the two concepts in some way.
I went through a bunch of forums and websites dedicated to crossword puzzles. It felt like I was going down a rabbit hole. I found one post where someone said they had seen this clue in the LA Times, *, and the L.A. Times Daily. They seemed pretty sure about it, so that gave me a bit of hope.
Another website mentioned that the clue had 4 letters. That narrowed it down a bit, but there were still so many possibilities. I saw one place that listed all the solutions for “Elevated for driving” with 18 letters. Seriously, 18 letters? That seemed excessive.
Finally, after what felt like hours, I stumbled upon a site that listed the answer to the “Elevated for driving” crossword clue with 4 letters, specifically for the one that appeared on November 4, 2023. Can you believe it?
It was a total face-palm moment. It was one of those things that seemed so obvious once you saw the answer. It took me a while, but I finally got it, and I gotta say, it felt pretty good to crack that code. Sometimes these puzzles can really drive you nuts, but the satisfaction of solving them is worth it.

This is what I finally figured out. I can’t believe this simple word confused me for so long! This experience taught me to think in a different way.
