Okay, so yesterday I was chilling, you know, doing my usual crossword routine, and BAM! This clue pops up: “like some schools nyt crossword.” I stared at it for a solid five minutes, feeling totally blank.
First thought? I grabbed my phone. I mean, who doesn’t these days? Googled “like some schools nyt crossword clue.” Saw a bunch of results, but I wanted to figure it out myself, you know? Keep the brain sharp.
I started thinking about different types of schools. Like, are we talking public, private, charter? Elementary, high school, college? The possibilities felt endless. Then I started thinking about what makes a school like something else. Do they share a characteristic? A teaching style? A name?
Then it hit me, kinda randomly. I was messing around with letter combinations, and tried “IVIED”. Counted the boxes in the crossword grid, and boom! Five letters. I still wasn’t sure. So, I plugged it in. Felt risky, but what the heck?
And… it WORKED! The little jingle played, the puzzle lit up. Felt pretty good, I won’t lie. It was a total AHA! moment. Turns out the answer was “IVIED,” like some schools in the Ivy League. Man, I felt smart, haha.
After I finished the whole crossword, I decided to dig a little deeper. Why “IVIED”? I looked up the Ivy League on Wikipedia (yeah, I know, sue me!). Learned a bit about how the name comes from the ivy growing on the old buildings of those universities. Pretty neat, right?
So, yeah, that was my “like some schools” crossword adventure. Sometimes, you just gotta keep plugging away, try different things, and eventually, the answer just pops into your head. Happy puzzling!
