“Adjust, as printer paper” – A Crossword Clue That’s No Paper Cut
We all know that feeling: you’re cruising through the crossword, confidently filling in the blanks, and then you hit a wall. A clue stares back at you, seemingly simple, but with an answer that evades your grasp. Today’s culprit? “Adjust, as printer paper.”
This one’s a bit of a head-scratcher, isn’t it? It’s not immediately obvious what kind of adjustment we’re dealing with. Is it a technical setting? A physical manipulation? A metaphorical change?
Let’s break it down.
The key word is “adjust.” It implies a change, a modification, or a fine-tuning. But how does that relate to printer paper?
We might consider the ways in which paper can be adjusted for use in a printer. Perhaps it’s about the way it’s loaded, the size selected, or the type of paper used.
However, the clue also hints at something more abstract. The phrase “as printer paper” suggests that the adjustment is something common to printer paper, but not necessarily a direct physical adjustment of the paper itself.
This is where the real fun begins. We need to think about the characteristics of printer paper and how those characteristics might be adjusted.
Think about the role of printer paper: it’s meant to be blank, uniform, and readily adaptable to the task at hand. These qualities are not inherent to the paper itself, but rather adjustments that have been made to it.
So, what kind of adjustment is made to printer paper to make it fit this role?
The answer is hiding in plain sight, waiting for you to decipher it. Take your time, think critically, and you’ll crack this crossword clue in no time.
Good luck, crossword solvers!
