Okay, so I tried to solve this crossword puzzle, and let me tell you, it was a real pain. I saw this clue, “This sucks,” and I was like, “What the heck could that be?” I spent hours, literally hours, racking my brain trying to figure it out.
First, I started by looking online, thinking maybe someone else had figured it out. I found tons of websites claiming to have the answer. Some said “LEECH,” others said “STRAW,” and there were even more options. It was a mess! I copied down all the possibilities, but none of them seemed to fit the other clues I had already solved.
Scouring the Internet
- Searched for “This sucks crossword clue” and got bombarded with results.
- Noticed some common answers like “LEECH” and “STRAW”.
- Checked the definitions, but “LEECH” is gross like a blood-sucking parasite, and “STRAW” is just a drinking tube.
Then, I dug deeper into the whole “crossword” thing, and it said that the clues have two parts, one part is a normal definition and the other is an additional hint using wordplay. But I still couldn’t make sense of it.
After more searching, I realized that “This sucks” was most likely an answer for a clue from a New York Times crossword puzzle. And finally, it hit me! The answer has to be “STRAW”. It makes sense because you use a straw to suck up liquids. It is not an answer for some other words like “LEECH”.
Honestly, this whole crossword thing was way harder than I thought it would be. But hey, I guess I learned something new today, even though it was frustrating as hell. At last, I nailed it. But I gotta say, crosswords are definitely not my thing.
