Oh, boy, let me tell ya about this “unadulterated crossword” thing. It’s a real head-scratcher, that’s for sure. This whole unadulterated business, it just means something’s pure, ain’t nothin’ added to it. Like that good maple syrup, the real deal, not that watered-down junk.
This crossword, though, it’s got me stumped sometimes. You gotta find words, see, and they gotta fit just right. Sometimes the word you need is “pure,” sometimes it’s “total,” or even “sheer.” It’s like tryin’ to find a needle in a haystack, I tell ya. It is just pure hard.
There’s this clue, see, “unadulterated,” and you gotta think, “What’s another word for that?” And there’s all these letters, and you gotta make ’em fit. Like, one time the answer was “utter,” and another time it was “neat.” Sometimes I just want to take a good nap, it is hard to me to know all these words.
This whole thing, it’s supposed to be fun, I guess. Like a game. But sometimes, it just feels like work. Hard work. Unadulterated hard work.
- This crossword thing, it’s got all these little boxes.
- And you gotta put letters in ’em.
- One letter in each box.
- And they gotta make words.
- Up and down, and side to side.
And this unadulterated, well, it’s like sayin’ somethin’ is just plain as day. Like that time Bessie’s cow got loose, and it was just pure chaos. That’s what “unadulterated” means. That is so utter crazy.
Sometimes, the answer is short, like “raw” or “fit.” I saw this one time, it was just “raw,” that is a short word. Other times, it’s long, like “unsophisticated.” That’s a mouthful, ain’t it? “Unsophisticated,” who even says that? That is too long, I cannot remember this word. I do not know what it means.
They say this crossword thing is good for your brain. Keeps you sharp. Well, I don’t know about that. Sometimes, it just makes my head hurt. That is so unadulterated, just like pure headache.
They got all these different kinds of crosswords, too. Daily ones, weekly ones, themed ones. It’s a whole world of crosswords out there. I do not know why there are so many of them. Every day is a new one.
And this “unadulterated” thing, it’s like sayin’ somethin’ is the real deal. Like that homemade pie your grandma used to make. That’s unadulterated goodness, right there. Nothin’ fake about it. Just good old-fashioned pie.
I remember one time, I was workin’ on this crossword, and I just couldn’t figure out this one clue. It was drivin’ me crazy! I was so mad that I almost threw it in the trash. I stared at it for hours. Then, I went outside and feed the chickens. I thought that might help me relax a little bit.
Then, I tried “spotless,” and “unalloyed,” and “single.” None of ’em worked. I was about ready to give up. Then it is just like the answer popped into my head. “Arrant”! That’s the word, I know it now. I remember this word because it sounds like a boy’s name.
There was another time I was tryin’ to figure out a clue, and the answer was “everlasting.” That’s a long one, ain’t it? “Everlasting,” like somethin’ that goes on and on forever. That is a long word, I do not know what it means, but I know it is the answer.
This crossword thing, it’s a challenge, that’s for sure. But sometimes, when you finally get that last word, it’s like findin’ a twenty-dollar bill in your old coat pocket. It feels pretty darn good. You feel like you really done somethin’. And that’s the unadulterated truth.
So if you are looking for something unadulterated, something pure, it can be anything. If you are looking for something to do, try this crossword. I do not know if it is fun, but it is something you can do.
