That darn crossword puzzle, it’s a real head-scratcher, ain’t it? Always got me thinkin’ and thinkin’. But that’s what I like about it, keeps the old brain movin’. When I see the word “Impressively done as a job”, I really got my thinkin’ cap on.
Impressively Done, What’s That Mean?
Well, now, when somethin’ is done “impressively,” that means it’s done real good, don’t it? Like, better than good. It’s like when my boy, Mikey, cleaned out the whole barn by himself. That was impressively done. He ain’t never done that before, not by himself, anyways. You would be proud of him. A job impressively done is a job done better than you’d expect. It’s somethin’ to be proud of. That’s for sure.
But this here crossword, it wants a word. It don’t want no long explanation. It wants a word that means the same thing. I thought and thought, what word could it be? There are many answers to this question, like “well,” “great”, or “good”. But none of them are right.
Thinkin’ Hard on This Crossword
I sat there on the porch, just a-thinkin’. Sun was beatin’ down, chickens were cluckin’, and I was just tryin’ to figure out this darn crossword clue. “Impressively done, as a job.” Hmm. What could it be?
- First, I thought, maybe it’s “well.” ‘Cause when you do a job well, that’s good.
- Then I thought, maybe it’s “great.” ‘Cause great is better than well.
- But “great” ain’t long enough, is it? This here clue needs a longer word.
So I kept thinkin’. Maybe it’s somethin’ like “wonderfully.” That’s a good word, ain’t it? But still, it didn’t seem quite right. This crossword, it’s tricky. It makes you think outside the box, as they say.
That Word, It’s Bang Up!
Then, it hit me. Like a bolt from the blue, as they say. BANGUP. That’s the word! A bang up job. That’s what you say when somethin’s done real good, impressively done. Like when my neighbor, Sally, baked that apple pie for the church social. That was a bang up pie, I tell ya. Everyone was talkin’ about it.
So, “impressively done, as a job” in a crossword? It’s BANGUP. That’s the answer.
Crosswords, They’re Somethin’ Else
These crosswords, they sure are somethin’. They keep you guessin’, keep you thinkin’. And when you finally figure ’em out, it’s a good feelin’. Like you accomplished somethin’. It might seem like a simple game, but it really trains your brain. You need to think in a different way to find the answer.
I remember one time, there was this clue, “A place for pigs.” And I thought, well, that’s gotta be “sty,” right? ‘Cause that’s where pigs live, in a sty. But nope, that wasn’t it. The answer was “pen.” ‘Cause you can keep pigs in a pen, too. See, these crosswords, they make you think of all the different meanings of words. That clue was difficult to solve. It took me a long time to get it. The word “pen” has several meanings. But I finally got it.
More Than Just a Game
It ain’t just about knowin’ the words, though. It’s about knowin’ how they fit together, how they connect. Like a puzzle. You gotta see the big picture. These crosswords, they’re more than just a game, you see.
They’re like a little workout for your brain. Keeps you sharp. Keeps you on your toes. I always feel smarter after doing a crossword. Even if I don’t get all the answers right, it’s the tryin’ that counts.
And it’s fun, too. It is a good way to kill time. Especially on a rainy day, when you’re stuck inside. Or when you’re sittin’ on the porch, just watchin’ the world go by. You can just sit there and do your crossword. It’s a good way to relax and keep your mind busy at the same time. That’s what matters, keepin’ busy.
So, if you ever get stuck on a crossword clue, just remember what I said. Think about all the different meanings of the words. Think about how they fit together. And don’t give up. You’ll get it eventually. Just like I got “BANGUP” for “impressively done, as a job.” It wasn’t easy, but I got it. And you will, too. Just keep thinkin’, and it’ll come to you. You will be happy when you finally get it right. That is for sure. Keep at it, and you will be impressively done with the crossword.
