Okay, so today I’m gonna walk you through how I tackled this “picked hairstyle crossword” thing. Sounds kinda random, right? Well, it started with me just chilling, solving crosswords online – you know, killing time.
I stumbled upon this particular crossword, and one of the clues was something like “hairstyle often chosen.” The answer box was like, five letters. My brain went into overdrive. First thing that popped into my head was “bob,” ’cause everyone and their mom seems to be rocking a bob these days. But it didn’t quite fit the vibe of the clue, felt too specific.
So, I started brainstorming. What are some common hairstyles that people actually pick, not just something they end up with because they’re lazy? Hmmm. I thought about “fade,” but that’s more of a men’s style, and the crossword wasn’t really giving off a gendered vibe. Scratched that one.
Next, I considered “waves.” But that didn’t feel quite right either. It’s not something you just pick. You either have ’em naturally, or you gotta work for ’em. The crossword clue felt like it was hinting at something more universally accessible.
Then it hit me: “braid”. It’s five letters, and it’s a hairstyle that a lot of people actively choose. People get braids for all sorts of reasons – convenience, style, protection for their hair. Plus, there are a million different kinds of braids, so it’s pretty versatile.
I plugged “braid” into the crossword, and BAM! It fit. Other crossing words started falling into place. Victory! It was a pretty simple crossword clue in the end, but it was fun to think through the possibilities and land on the right answer. It’s all about the process, right?
Here’s a quick rundown of my thought process:
- Saw the clue: “hairstyle often chosen” (5 letters)
- Brainstormed common hairstyles: bob, fade, waves, braid.
- Eliminated “bob,” “fade,” and “waves” because they didn’t quite fit the clue’s vibe or were too specific.
- Landed on “braid” because it’s a chosen hairstyle, versatile, and fit the letter count.
- Entered “braid” into the crossword and confirmed it was the correct answer.
So yeah, that’s my super exciting “picked hairstyle crossword” adventure. Maybe next time I’ll tackle something a little harder, haha. But hey, even the small wins count! Later!
