Okay, so I’ve been trying to up my crossword game lately, you know, keeping the brain sharp and all that. And today I got totally stumped on this one clue: “French for cup.” I mean, I stared at it for a good five minutes, trying to rack my brain for any French words I knew. Nope, nothing. I even tried to remember those two years of high school French, but that was a major fail.
So, I decided to hit up the internet for a little help. I just typed in “French for cup crossword” into the search bar and started browsing. The first few results were these crossword solver sites. They were all like, “We have 30 solutions!” or “We found 40 possible answers!” I was thinking, “40 ways to say ‘cup’ in French? What?” I guess some of these were probably names for a small cup, or related terms, but still, it seemed like a lot.
I scrolled down a bit more, and then I saw it. A result that mentioned a New York Times crossword from October 24, 2024. It was talking about the answer for the “French cup” clue. And then another site said the clue was last seen on April 7th. I started to feel a bit like a detective, piecing together these little bits of information.
- I clicked on a few more of these solver sites.
- I compared them to see if there were any answers that showed up on multiple sites.
- I also checked the word lengths to make sure they would fit into my puzzle.
Finally, I found the answer on a page that seemed pretty reliable. The word was “TASSE.” It was five letters long, which was perfect for my puzzle. That website confirmed that it was the word for “cup” or “mug” in French. I felt so satisfied when I entered it into the puzzle! I also saw a solution for French cup 9 letters, but I didn’t have that clue in my puzzle.
Final Implementation
So, yeah, that’s how I figured out the answer to “French for cup.” It took a bit of searching, but I got there in the end. It’s kind of funny how many different websites are dedicated to solving crosswords, right? Anyway, I’m just glad I could finish my puzzle. It’s the little victories, you know? Hope that helps someone out there who might be stuck on the same clue!
