Okay, so the other day I was chilling with my buddies, and we got into this whole crossword puzzle thing. One of the clues was “gangster’s girlfriend,” and we were totally stumped. I mean, we threw out some random guesses, but nothing clicked. So, like any self-respecting person of the 21st century, I whipped out my phone and started digging.
My Search Process
First, I hit up the usual crossword solver sites. I typed in the clue, “gangster’s girlfriend,” and you know what? A bunch of options popped up. Most of them were pretty short, like four or five letters. I saw words like “moll” and “dame,” but honestly, those sounded kinda old-timey, and I wasn’t sure if they were right.
I also did a straight-up web search. Just typed it in to see what would come up. Got some interesting results there too! Mostly links to movie titles, old gangster flicks, and stuff like that. Gave me a bit of the vibe, but not the exact answer I needed.
Stumbling Around
Honestly, I spent a good chunk of time just messing around. I tried different combinations of letters, looking at the crossing words in the puzzle for hints. We even debated if it was a specific person’s name, like maybe from a famous movie or something. Total dead end, though.
The “Aha!” Moment
After a bit more digging around, I landed on the word “moll”. I checked a few different crossword sites to make sure, and boom, it was consistent. M-O-L-L. That was it! Five letters. Fit perfectly.
- Tried the word “moll.”
- Checked the number of letters.
- Fit “moll” in the puzzle.
- Everything looks good.
The Sweet Taste of Victory
We plugged it into the puzzle, and sure enough, it worked! We were pretty pumped. It’s always satisfying to crack those tricky clues, especially when you have to go down a few rabbit holes to find the answer. I made a mental note of “moll” for future crosswords. You never know when that kind of obscure knowledge will come in handy. Now crossword puzzles will never be the same, the word “moll” stuck with me.
