Alright, so yesterday I was in the mood for solving some crossword puzzles, you know, just to kill some time and give my brain a little workout. I opened up the New York Times Crossword, like I usually do, and started filling in the blanks. Everything was going pretty smoothly until I hit this one clue: “Top Round Steak.”
Now, I’m no culinary expert, but I’ve grilled a few steaks in my time. Still, this one had me stumped. I stared at the blank spaces, trying to think of any steak-related words that would fit. Nothing came to mind. I went through other clues and tried to fill up the related blanks, hoping to get some hint. But still no clue.
I decided to take a break. Maybe a little walk would clear my head, I thought. I put on my shoes and headed out the door, but the clue was still bugging me. I kept turning it over in my mind, “Top Round Steak, Top Round Steak…”
Then, it hit me. I should turn to the internet. It’s a powerful tool. Why not just try to search it online? I ran back inside, grabbed my phone, and started googling. I typed in “top round steak NYT crossword clue” and hoped for the best. The first few results weren’t really helpful, just some general info about top round steak. But then, I stumbled upon a few websites that specifically dealt with crossword answers.
- I found several websites with solutions for the New York Times crossword, including the one from January 4, 2024.
- Most of them had the same answer.
- I also found a forum where people were discussing this particular clue.
Lo and behold, there it was. The answer that several websites agreed on was “CUTANDRUN”. “CUTANDRUN?” I thought. That’s kind of a weird answer for a steak clue, isn’t it? It didn’t make much sense to me at first, but I figured, hey, it fit the puzzle. These sites were dedicated to crossword answers, so they probably knew what they were talking about. So, finally I typed the answer into the corresponding blanks.
With “CUTANDRUN” in place, I was able to finish the rest of the puzzle without too much trouble. It was a bit of a head-scratcher, that “Top Round Steak” clue, but I got there in the end. I guess the lesson here is, even if you’re stuck on something, don’t give up! There are always resources out there that can help you find the answer, whether it’s for a crossword puzzle or anything else in life. And sometimes, the answer might be a little unexpected, like “CUTANDRUN” for a steak.
What a day!
It’s funny how a simple crossword clue can turn into a whole adventure. But that’s what I love about these puzzles. They challenge you, make you think, and sometimes, they even send you on a wild goose chase across the internet. It’s all part of the fun, I guess. Anyway, I just wanted to share my little crossword escapade with you all. Maybe it’ll inspire you to pick up a puzzle and give it a try. You never know what kind of journey it might take you on!
