Unraveling the Clue: “2016 horror film starring Blake Lively: 2 wds.“
This week’s crossword puzzle threw me for a loop! I breezed through most of the grid, but one clue had me stumped for longer than I care to admit. It was a simple-looking clue: “2016 horror film starring Blake Lively: 2 wds.”
Simple, right? You’d think so. But the movie title was escaping me! I wracked my brain, trying to remember any horror films Blake Lively starred in. I thought about her role in “The Age of Adaline” – not a horror film at all. Then I remembered “Green Lantern,” but that wasn’t a horror film either. My mind was blank.
I considered the possibility that it was a less well-known film, something I might not have seen. I even started searching online, looking up lists of horror films from 2016. But nothing rang a bell.
Frustration was starting to creep in. I could feel my time running out as I stared at the blank spaces in the crossword grid. I needed to crack this clue!
I decided to change tactics. Instead of focusing on Blake Lively, I started thinking about horror films from 2016. I recalled “The Conjuring 2,” “Don’t Breathe,” “Lights Out,” and “Ouija: Origin of Evil.” But none of these films starred Blake Lively.
I was starting to lose hope. But then, a glimmer of recognition sparked in my mind. I recalled a movie trailer I had seen for a film about a woman trapped on a remote island, stalked by a menacing shark. It featured Blake Lively, and it was indeed a horror film!
But what was the name of the movie? The title slipped my mind. I had to find it.
This is where my strategy shifted. I decided to search online for “Blake Lively shark horror movie.” And there it was! I finally remembered the title.
I filled in the answer with a triumphant grin. My crossword puzzle was finally complete!
This clue might have stumped me for a while, but it ultimately taught me the importance of persistence and shifting your perspective when solving a tricky crossword clue. Sometimes, you just need to think outside the box and approach the problem from a different angle.
