Okay, so I was messing around with crossword puzzles the other day, and I got totally stuck on this one clue: “discloses.” I stared at it for, like, forever. It was a seven-letter word, and I just couldn’t crack it.
First, I tried filling in some of the crossing words, hoping that would give me a hint. I got a few letters here and there, but nothing that really helped with “discloses.” I even started going through the alphabet in my head, trying each letter in different spots. “A… no. B… nope. C… definitely not.” You get the idea. It was pretty tedious.
Brainstorming Time
Then, I decided to take a step back and think about what “discloses” actually means. It’s like, revealing something, right? Showing something that was hidden. So, I started listing out synonyms in my head:
- Reveals
- Shows
- Unveils
- Exposes
I looked at those words, and “reveals” jumped out at me. It’s seven letters! Could it be? I carefully penciled it into the crossword grid, checking the crossing letters. R-E-V-E-A-L-S. It fit perfectly!
I was so stoked! It’s such a simple thing, but finally solving that one clue felt like a huge victory. It’s funny how these little puzzles can be so frustrating, but also so satisfying when you finally crack them.
