Sleepyheads, Unite! Solving the “Showed Sleepiness” Clue
Ah, the joy of a challenging crossword puzzle. You’re cruising through the grid, filling in answers with a sense of accomplishment, then BAM! A clue throws you for a loop. Today, we’re tackling a particularly head-scratcher:
“Showed Sleepiness.”
This clue is a bit of a trickster. It’s not asking for a simple adjective like “sleepy” or “drowsy.” It wants a word that
describes an action or a state
that demonstrates that someone is tired.
Think about how someone might show they’re sleepy. Do they yawn? Rub their eyes? Nod off? Perhaps there’s a more subtle clue in the way they move or speak?
This clue is a prime example of why crossword puzzles are so satisfying to solve. It forces you to think outside the box, use your knowledge of language, and consider different perspectives.
