Okay, so I saw this “inclination nyt crossword” thing trending and I was like, “What’s that all about?” I’m not a huge crossword person, but I do enjoy a good puzzle, and I’m always up for trying something new. So, I decided to dive in and see what the fuss was about.
First, I googled “inclination nyt crossword” to, you know, actually find the crossword. I figured it was a specific clue from the New York Times crossword, which it was. I then found the official NYT crossword page, which that day was a mini crossword.
The Hunt Begins
I opened up the crossword. It’s smaller than the usual ones I’ve seen! I started by scanning through all the clues, across and down, just to get a feel for it. I spotted some easy ones right away, like typical fill-in-the-blanks or really obvious definitions.
- I filled in those gimmes first. It’s always satisfying to get some squares filled in quickly.
- Then I looked for any clues that seemed to be wordplay or puns. Those can be tricky but fun.
- The “inclination” clue. I thought maybe a synonym, like “leaning” or “tendency”.
- Tried entering “LEANING”, but it was off by a letter.
The “Aha!” Moment
I went back to the “inclination” clue, reading it over and over. I thought maybe something related to angles or slopes? Then, bam! It hit me. It’s kind of a definition-type clue.
I typed in “SLANT” and yep. It fit perfectly! I finished up the rest of the puzzle pretty quickly after that, feeling like a total crossword genius (even though it was a mini one, haha).
So, yeah, that’s my “inclination nyt crossword” adventure. It was a fun little brain teaser. Maybe I’ll try another one tomorrow!
