Okay, so I’ve been getting into crossword puzzles lately. It’s, like, a fun way to keep my brain busy, you know? And I stumbled upon this clue, “Major constellation,” and my mind just went blank. I’m not really an astronomy buff, I gotta admit.
So, the first thing I did was stare at the empty spaces. Eighteen letters! That’s a HUGE word. I felt pretty intimidated, I’m not gonna lie. I mean, “major constellation”… There are tons of constellations, right?
My Brainstorming Process
- Tried to think of really big, well-known constellations. You know, the ones everyone talks about. Nothing came to mind that was anywhere near 18 letters.
- Thought, “Okay, maybe it’s not the name of a constellation, but some kind of description?” Still nothing.
- Considered giving up. Seriously, I almost threw my phone across the room.
Then, because I’m stubborn, I decided to hit up the internet. I figured there had to be some kind of crossword solver thing out there. And, bam! I found this website, *, that promised answers.
I typed in the clue, “Major constellation,” and the number of letters, 18. I held my breath (a little dramatically, I know) and hit enter.
The result popped up: only one answer with 4 letters. what?! I felt silly. How could an 18-letter clue only need 4 letters for the solution?
It all goes to show, things are not always how they seem. and, a little searching online is all it takes sometimes.
