Okay, so today I decided to tackle this “mixes thoroughly” crossword clue that’s been bugging me. I’ve been staring at it all morning, and it was time to just get it done.
First, I grabbed my phone and opened up my usual crossword app. You know, the one with the little blue icon? Yeah, that one. I scrolled through the puzzles until I found the one I was working on.
My Struggle Begins
I stared at the clue again: “mixes thoroughly.” My brain was drawing a total blank. I tried to think of all the words related to mixing… stirring, blending, whisking… nothing seemed to fit the number of letters I needed.
- I considered synonyms.
- I thought about cooking terms.
- I even tried to picture someone mixing something!
The “Aha!” Moment
Then, after what felt like forever, it hit me! I had just put a load of laundry so I thought. I typed in “S-T-I-R-S”.
It fit! Oh, the relief! Sometimes the simplest words are the hardest to see. It was that, I filled in all these words. I finally finished the crossword, feeling pretty pleased with myself.
So, yeah, that’s how I finally cracked the “mixes thoroughly” clue. A little bit of frustration, a little bit of brainstorming, and a whole lot of satisfaction in the end!
