Yard Sign Word: A Clue That’s Right in Your Front Yard
Sometimes, the most obvious clues are the ones that slip right past us. This week’s crossword puzzle threw me for a loop with a particularly sneaky entry: “Yard sign word.”
I stared at the grid, my mind blank. “Yard sign word“? What on earth could that possibly be? Was it something obscure, a technical term only landscapers knew?
I started brainstorming, picturing those ubiquitous signs in front of houses. “For Sale,” “Beware of Dog,” “Lawn Service” … But none of those words seemed to fit the length of the clue.
Then it hit me, like a flash of inspiration! The answer wasn’t a specific word, but rather a common element of yard signs. A simple concept, but one that completely shifted my perspective.
If you’re struggling with this crossword clue, take a moment to look at the world around you. Sometimes the answers are closer than you think!
