โare you bored of normal crosswords? love mind-bending riddles? maybe you're just looking for another way to hurt your brain?
i've always been fascinated by puzzles, riddles, ciphers, and other things that require solving through creative thinking. i vividly remember reading a crossword clue that made absolutely zero sense. for lack-of-memory reasons, i'll use a different clue that would probably spark just as much confusion: "Part of limb I bend to drink (6)". what six letter word could possibly define this? well, IMBIBE of course. duh.
now if you're just like me and you arenโt albert fucking einstein, it should be clear that the clue makes NO sense. the trick? there isn't really a trick, but it's essentially a learning process that i'd say is worth. with "Cryptic Crossword Clues," there's wordplay, anagrams, reinterpretation, etc. i'm honestly not the best at explaining how to solve these, so i would recommend checking out Minute Cryptic. they have a guide on the website as well as in-depth solves on their socials. click here for the explanation on how you get "IMBIBE"!
it's super satisfying to solve these clues, it's kind of like turning a jumble of nothing into something that makes clear sense. yeah this was a random ass rec
