Was Deceitful: 3 Wds. – Cracking the Code

Crossword puzzles are a great way to challenge your mind, exercise your vocabulary, and maybe even learn a new word or two. But sometimes, even the most seasoned solver can get stumped by a particularly tricky clue. Today, we’re tackling the clue “Was Deceitful: 3 Wds.” and unraveling the mystery behind its answer.

This clue presents a bit of a double whammy – it’s a three-word answer, which can make it a bit more challenging, and it’s a very specific definition. While “deceitful” might conjure up images of sneaky individuals, we need to find a phrase that explicitly conveys the act of being deceitful.

Let’s start by breaking down the clue. “Was deceitful” tells us that the answer is past tense, meaning we need to think about how someone acted in the past. The three-word constraint suggests a phrase, maybe even an idiom, that encapsulates the meaning of being deceitful.

Think about the ways someone might act deceitfully. Do they lie? Do they mislead? Do they manipulate? Consider common phrases used to describe these actions.

Keep your mind open to synonyms and different word choices. Sometimes the answer lies in a word you might not immediately associate with “deceitful.”
