Okay, so, today I tried to do this thing called an “egg beater crossword.” Sounds kinda weird, right? I mean, what’s an egg beater got to do with a crossword? Anyway, I saw it online and thought, “Why not give it a shot?”
First, I started to look up what this “egg beater” thing even meant in the crossword world. I typed in “egg beater crossword” into the search bar and a whole bunch of stuff popped up. Some sites said there were like 30 possible answers, others said 14, or even 40! And they were all different lengths, too – 5 letters, 6 letters, even 10 letters long. It was a bit overwhelming, to be honest.
I started looking at a few of these crossword solver sites. They were listing all these words, saying they could be the answer to “egg beater.” One site mentioned something about a “Puzzler Backwords puzzle,” which, I have no idea what that is. I just wanted to figure out this egg beater thing!
Next, I tried to make sense of these words. I saw some short words like “JACK,” “PAIR,” “TREY,” and “GOOD.” They were all four letters long. Honestly, I couldn’t see how any of them related to an egg beater. Then there were longer words, from 5 to 10 letters, but the websites didn’t show them.
I kept digging, and I found out that I wasn’t the only one confused. Apparently, other people have seen this “egg beater” clue in actual crossword puzzles, like the NY Times and some other ones I’ve never heard of. The websites said this clue has been spotted like 7 times before. There were also “related clues,” but they didn’t really help me much.
So, I tried a different approach. One site had a tool where you could type in “egg beater” and it would give you answers sorted by length. It gave me three options. It was something, I guess, but it still felt like I was shooting in the dark.
To sum it up, I spent a good chunk of my day trying to figure out this “egg beater crossword” thing. I learned that it’s a popular clue, that there are a ton of possible answers, and that I’m definitely not alone in being confused by it. Did I crack the code? Nope. But hey, it was a fun little adventure, even if I ended up more confused than when I started. Maybe I’ll try again tomorrow, or maybe I’ll just stick to beating eggs the old-fashioned way – with a whisk!
