Stuck on a Tavern Tab Clue? Let’s Crack This One Open!
Ah, the joys of a good crossword puzzle. That feeling of accomplishment when you finally nail that tricky clue, the satisfaction of seeing the grid slowly fill in. But sometimes, even the most seasoned solver gets stumped. Today’s challenge? “Run a ____” (keep a bill going at a tavern).
This clue is a little more nuanced than your standard “what’s a synonym for…” type. It’s got a bit of a wordplay element, a touch of history, and maybe even a hint of a cheeky barroom joke. Don’t worry, we’re going to break it down together and find that perfect answer!
Let’s start with the obvious: the phrase “Run a ____” implies some sort of action, a continued effort, or a management of something. The “tavern” context points us towards a place of drinking, socializing, and potentially…a tab. “Keep a bill going” solidifies that link, suggesting a financial arrangement where someone’s purchases are recorded and paid for later.
Now, we need to figure out what that “something” is that’s being run. We’re looking for a noun that can be associated with keeping track of a bill, managing expenses, or even the overall operation of a tavern.
