Okay, so I’ve been messing around with crosswords lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. Today’s little adventure was all about figuring out the clue “many varsity sports captains” from The New York Times Mini Crossword. Yeah, I know, sounds simple enough, right? But trust me, it had its moments.
So, first things first, I grabbed my phone and opened up the NYT Games app. I’ve been trying to make this a daily thing, you know, to keep the old brain gears turning. I spotted today’s Mini Crossword and dove right in.
Most of the clues were pretty straightforward, the usual mix of easy and hmm-let-me-think-about-that ones. But then I hit this one clue: “many varsity sports captains.” My mind went blank. I mean, I know what a sports captain is, but how do you shorten that? I stared at it for a good minute, feeling a bit silly.
Then, I started throwing out ideas. Was it “leads”? Nope, too long. “Heads”? Nah, doesn’t fit. My brain was churning, but nothing clicked.
I even googled “many varsity sports captains abbr nyt mini crossword June 25”, just hoping for a little hint. The search results popped up, and I scanned through them. Lots of folks were looking for the same answer, it seemed. One answer that was found is “One Answer found for Many Varsity Sports Captains Abbr NYT Mini Crossword June 25.” And another says “If you find yourself stumped playing The Mini — much like with Wordle and Connections — we have you covered.” All these were really helpful.
Finally, after a bit of scrolling, I found a few sites that had the answer. “SRS”. Of course! Seniors! It makes total sense. Many varsity sports captains are seniors. I slapped my forehead – how could I miss that?
