Stumped by a Breakfast Clue?
Ah, the joys of a good crossword puzzle. That satisfying “click” as you finally decipher a tricky clue, the sense of accomplishment as you fill in the grid… until you hit a wall.
This week, I’m tackling a clue that’s got me scratching my head, and I know it’s probably tripping up a few of you as well. The clue is simply:
“Breakfast brand with a “Thick & Fluffy” variety.”
Straightforward enough, right? But sometimes the most familiar brands can slip our minds. This clue is particularly tricky because it’s not just asking for any old cereal brand. It’s looking for a specific one known for its “Thick & Fluffy” variety.
Let’s break it down.
We know we’re dealing with a breakfast brand, likely a cereal or pancake mix. The “Thick & Fluffy” descriptor narrows our search further. It suggests a texture, a certain type of consistency.
Think about the popular breakfast brands you know. Which ones are associated with this particular texture? Which ones have a variety specifically marketed as “Thick & Fluffy”?
Don’t forget to consider the brand’s marketing, its packaging, and even the sound of its name. Sometimes the answer is right there in front of us, but we just need a little nudge to see it.
Ready to tackle this breakfast-themed brain teaser? I’m pulling out my trusty dictionary and my favorite cup of coffee – let’s see if we can crack this clue together!
