A Detective’s Dilemma: Cracking the “No Fixed Address” Clue
Ah, the joys of a good crossword puzzle! That feeling of accomplishment when you crack a particularly tricky clue, that sense of satisfaction as the grid slowly fills in – it’s pure, unadulterated joy. But let’s be honest, sometimes even the most seasoned crossword solver can get stumped.
Today, we’re tackling a clue that’s got me scratching my head. It’s a 7-letter word, a rather common one, that describes the plight of a detective – the bane of their existence, if you will.
The clue:
CID moan about having no fixed address (7)
Let’s break it down:
CID:
This, of course, refers to the “Criminal Investigation Department,” a familiar term for anyone who enjoys a good police procedural.
Moan:
This word suggests a complaint, a sense of frustration.
No fixed address:
This phrase speaks to a lack of stability, a transient lifestyle.
So, what could it be? A detective might find themselves lamenting the challenges of their job, perhaps feeling a sense of displacement due to their constant investigations.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments! Do you have any theories about what this elusive 7-letter word might be?
