Okay, so I was messing around with crossword puzzles the other day, you know, just killing time. And I stumbled upon this phrase “blue blood.” I’d heard it before, but I wasn’t 100% sure what it meant in crossword land. So, I decided to dig in.
First, I grabbed my phone and did a quick search. Turns out, “blue blood” usually refers to someone of noble birth or aristocracy. Okay, that makes sense – I kinda figured it was something along those lines.
My Little Experiment
I decided to see how this played out in actual crosswords. So, I started hunting for some puzzles that used the phrase.
- I found a few that used “ARISTOCRAT” as the answer for “Blue blood,” which was pretty straightforward.
- Then I bumped into a couple that used “NOBLE.” That worked too!
- One puzzle even got a bit fancier and used NOBLEMAN”
I even tried solving some crosswords and using blue blood related hints and I got the correct answer!
So, basically, if you see “blue blood” in a crossword clue, think along the lines of royalty, nobility, or someone from a fancy family. That should steer you in the right direction. It’s not rocket science, just a little bit of word association!
