Decoding the Weights: “The “long” version of it is 12% heavier“

This week’s crossword puzzle threw me for a loop with a clue that sent my mind scrambling. “The “long” version of it is 12% heavier” – what on earth could it be?

I know, I know, many of you might be thinking, “Just look it up!” But where’s the fun in that? The joy of crossword puzzles lies in the challenge, the mental gymnastics required to crack the code. And this clue? Well, it definitely had me working up a sweat!

At first glance, it seems like a straightforward weight-related clue. But the “long” version? That’s where things get tricky. Does it refer to a physical object, perhaps something with different versions depending on its length? Or could it be something more abstract, a concept with a literal and metaphorical weight?

I considered the possibilities – lengths of rope, maybe? Or different lengths of time? But none of them seemed to fit the 12% weight difference.

The more I pondered, the more I realized that this clue was less about literal weight and more about a metaphorical one. “The “long” version of it is 12% heavier” – could it be a word? A word with a heavier meaning? A longer, more impactful version?

This line of thinking led me to explore the realm of synonyms and antonyms, digging for words that carried more weight than their shorter counterparts. But even with this new angle, I still felt stumped.

As the clock ticked down, I knew I had to shift gears. Perhaps the clue wasn’t a direct hint at a specific word, but rather a more abstract concept. What could be 12% heavier? What could be “longer” in a way that impacted its weight?

That’s where I left off, my mind spinning with possibilities. I’m confident that with a little more time, the answer will click into place.

But for now, I’m throwing the question out to you, my fellow crossword enthusiasts! Do you have any ideas? What do you think “The “long” version of it is 12% heavier” means?
