A Tiny Dab Will Do: Cracking the “Very Small Amount of Ointment” Clue
Crossword puzzles are a delightful way to exercise your brain, but sometimes even the most seasoned solver encounters a clue that throws them for a loop. This week, I stumbled upon a particularly tricky one: “Very small amount of ointment.” Now, I know my fair share of medical terminology, but this one had me scratching my head.
“Very small amount” immediately conjures up images of tiny, almost invisible quantities, but how does that translate to ointment? Is it a specific type of ointment, a unique way to apply it, or something else entirely?
This clue definitely calls for a bit of creative thinking and a good dose of dictionary diving. The key, I realized, is understanding the different ways “very small amount” can be expressed. Is it about volume, weight, or perhaps something more abstract like a dosage?
As I delve deeper into the world of ointment-related terminology, I’m starting to see some intriguing possibilities. Maybe the answer lies in a rarely used medical term, a poetic description of a miniscule quantity, or even a playful reference to the act of applying ointment.
Stay tuned as I unravel the mysteries of this cryptic crossword clue. I’ll share my thought process, the potential answers I’ve unearthed, and ultimately, the satisfying moment when I crack the code!
