Alright, let’s talk about this “rival of Woods and Els” thing. Sounds like some kinda fancy puzzle, like them crosswords my grandkids are always scribblin’ in. Never understood them things, all them boxes and clues. Makes my head spin faster than a dog chasin’ its tail.
Now, from what I gather, this “Woods” fella and this “Els” fella, they ain’t exactly best buddies. Sounds like they’re rivals, you know, like them roosters in my yard, always peckin’ at each other. So, this puzzle, it wants you to figure out who this other fella is, the one who’s always tryin’ to beat Woods and Els.
I heard tell these puzzles get harder as the week goes on. Monday ones are easy-peasy, like pickin’ apples from a low branch. But by Saturday, they’re tough as an old boot, makin’ your brain sweat more than me in the summer sun. And Sunday? Forget about it. Them Sunday ones are bigger than a dinner plate and twice as complicated. Lord have mercy!
Now, some smart folks say the answer is a short word, just three letters. STD, they say. Don’t know what that means, sounds like somethin’ you catch from a dirty toilet seat. But then again, these puzzle people are a different breed, always thinkin’ in riddles. Maybe it’s a secret code or somethin’. Who knows?
- One thing’s for sure, though. There ain’t just one answer. Them puzzle makers, they like to trick ya, give you lots of possibilities. I heard tell there’s forty different answers they coulda cooked up! Forty! That’s more chickens than I got in my coop. Makes you wonder if they ain’t just makin’ it up as they go along.
- And this “Woods’ rival” thing? Same story. Lots and lots of answers. But the one they keep comin’ back to is ELS. Well, that makes sense, don’t it? If Woods and Els are rivals, then Els is Woods’ rival. Simple as pie. Sometimes these puzzles ain’t as complicated as they seem, just gotta use your common sense.
Seems like folks are always lookin’ for this answer. “Frequently searched for,” they say. Fancy words for somethin’ simple. People want to know, that’s all. And if ELS is the answer, then so be it. I ain’t gonna argue with it. I got better things to do than wrestle with words.
But what gets me is how they make such a fuss over it. They go on and on about “hints” and “clues” and “lexicons.” Sounds like a bunch of hogwash to me. If you know the answer, you know it. If you don’t, you don’t. Ain’t no need to make it more complicated than it already is. Reminds me of that time the salesman tried to sell me that fancy plow. Said it would do all sorts of things, but in the end, it was just a plow, same as any other.
And this talk about “missing letters”? Drives me batty. Just fill in the blank, already! Don’t need no fancy dictionary or computer thingamajig to figure it out. Just good old-fashioned guessin’ and a little bit of luck. Like findin’ a four-leaf clover in the pasture.
So, there you have it. Rival of Woods and Els. Could be STD, could be ELS, could be a whole bunch of other things. But at the end of the day, it’s just a word, ain’t it? And there are more important things in life than worryin’ about words in a puzzle. Like makin’ sure the chickens are fed and the garden is watered. That’s the kind of stuff that really matters.
