Okay, so yesterday I was trying to kill some time, and you know what I did? I dived into a crossword puzzle. The theme of the day was “Vegas constellation”. Sounds a bit fancy, right? Honestly, I thought it would be a piece of cake, but boy, was I in for a ride!
I started filling in the boxes, one by one. Some were easy-peasy, you know, the usual suspects like short words or common phrases. But then came the “Vegas constellation” clues. I scratched my head, hard. I mean, what does Vegas have to do with stars? That’s when the real fun began.
I went on a little adventure, not the kind where you pack your bags, but the one where you scour the internet. I typed “Vegas constellation crossword” into the search bar and bam! A ton of pages popped up. It turns out, this wasn’t just my little brain teaser; it was a thing, a crossword clue that’s been featured in puzzles from the LA Times to the New York Times, and some other ones too, can you believe it?
- First, I found this one page saying they solved it on June 23rd. Good for them, but that didn’t help me much.
- Then another page mentioned it was last seen on October 4th, 2023, in the LA Times Crossword. Okay, getting closer, but still no answer.
- Then a goldmine! A page talking about a 4-letter answer for “Vega’s constellation” from the Universal Crossword on December 26th. Finally, a hint!
But guess what? It wasn’t just one answer. Apparently, this “Vega’s constellation” thing has been around the block, and there are like, 40 possible answers! 40! That’s like, a whole galaxy of answers. I felt a bit overwhelmed, but also kind of excited. It was like being a detective, but instead of a magnifying glass, I had a search engine.
After digging through a few more pages, I finally found it. It mentioned that the answer for the crossword clue “Vega’s constellation” had been spotted over 20 times in different puzzles. And the answer was… drumroll… LYRA! It all made sense then, Vega is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra. I felt like I’d cracked the Da Vinci Code or something!
So yeah, that was my little adventure with a crossword puzzle. Who knew “Vegas constellation” would lead me down such a rabbit hole? It was a fun little brain workout, and I even learned something new. Next time you’re bored, give it a try. You might just surprise yourself!
