Today, I tried to solve the “Quick Blow” puzzle from the New York Times crossword. It’s a common thing in my daily routine. I started reading the clue carefully. At first, I felt a little stuck. I thought it might be something to do with speed or maybe a sudden hit. I tried to think of words that fit these ideas, but nothing seemed right.
I kept reading the clue again and again. It says “Quick blow with a whip”. I started thinking about what “blow” means in different ways. It could mean a punch or maybe something else. I looked at the number of letters needed for the answer, it shows three letters. This made me think more narrowly about what words could fit.
Then, I recalled some words I knew that mean a quick hit. The word “JAB” came to mind. I thought this could be it! It’s a quick punch, and it fits the three-letter requirement. I felt pretty good about this guess. It seemed to match the clue well. Also, I found some information on the internet, which said the answer to the “Quick blow” is “JAB”.
I entered “JAB” into the puzzle and checked if it fits with other clues. It did! This made me feel really happy and accomplished. I realized that sometimes the answer is simpler than it first appears. It’s important not to overthink and to consider different meanings of words.
