A Hoppy Little Crossword Clue: “___ Rabbit”
This week’s crossword puzzle threw me for a loop with a particularly tricky clue: “___ Rabbit.” At first glance, it seemed straightforward enough, but as I dug deeper, the possibilities began to multiply. Was it a famous rabbit, a breed of rabbit, or something more obscure?
The clue’s lack of specificity made it all the more challenging. I started with the basics, racking my brain for any famous rabbits I could recall. Peter Rabbit? The Easter Bunny? No, neither of those fit.
I then shifted gears, focusing on breeds. Dutch rabbits? Lionhead rabbits? Still nothing. Frustration began to set in. Was this clue a trick question?
Determined to crack the code, I turned to my trusty crossword dictionary. I flipped through page after page, scanning the entries for any mention of rabbits. Finally, I found a promising lead: a list of rabbits known for their unique characteristics.
But even with this new information, the answer remained elusive. I was stumped. Was I missing something obvious? Or was this clue truly a puzzle within a puzzle?
I decided to take a break, allowing my subconscious to work its magic. I returned to the crossword later, feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the challenge once more. And then, like a flash of lightning, the answer struck me!
What was the answer? Well, I’m not going to spoil the fun! But I will say this: it was a satisfying “aha” moment, one that solidified the importance of perseverance in the world of crossword puzzles.
