Today, I tried to solve a crossword puzzle from The New York Times. I’m not really into these kinds of puzzles, but hey, why not give it a shot, right? There was this clue that really got me thinking: “Chick of jazz.” It sounded simple enough, but I was totally lost.
So, I did what anyone would do – I googled it. And man, I found a bunch of websites talking about this clue. They were all saying the same thing, that this “Chick of jazz” thing has shown up in The New York Times crossword before, on June 9, 2024, to be exact.
I scrolled through a few of these pages, and they all pointed to one answer: COREA. Apparently, this COREA guy is some kind of jazz pianist. One site even mentioned something like, “Another definition for corea that I’ve seen is Chick – – , jazz pianist.” This made it a bit clearer, but I still had no idea who this Chick Corea was.
Digging Deeper
- First, I checked out a few different crossword help sites.
- Then, I read through some forum discussions where people were talking about this clue.
- Finally, I even looked at some articles about jazz musicians, hoping to stumble upon something about this COREA character.
After some more digging, I found out that Chick Corea is actually a pretty big deal in the jazz world. Turns out, he’s a legendary jazz pianist and composer. I even listened to a couple of his tracks, and they were pretty cool. It was a totally new world of music for me.
I also noticed that there were other possible answers floating around the internet, like “OCTET”, which is apparently a group of eight. But most sources seemed pretty sure that COREA was the correct answer for this particular clue.
In the end, I managed to solve that part of the crossword, all thanks to a bit of online searching and some helpful hints from those crossword clue websites. It was a fun little adventure, and I even learned something new about jazz music. Who knew a simple crossword clue could lead to all that? It’s not something I do every day, but this was definitely an interesting experience.
