Man, I gotta tell you about my experience with this crossword clue, “is in neutral.” It’s a doozy. I’ve always liked messing around with crosswords, you know, just a chill way to pass the time. But this one got me good.
So, I started like I always do, looking at the clue and trying to figure out what the heck it meant. “Is in neutral” – what could that be? My brain was going a mile a minute, thinking of all sorts of things. I even remembered that cryptic clues have a definition and some wordplay, so I tried to break it down like that. Didn’t help much at first, though.
I decided to hit up the internet, see what I could find. I typed “is in neutral crossword” into the search bar, and bam, tons of results. I started clicking around, reading different websites, trying to find some sort of hint. One site said there were like 30 possible answers! 30! Can you believe that? It was overwhelming, to say the least.
I found out that a lot of people struggle with this clue. It’s a “quick one,” they say, but it can be tricky. There were all these different solutions listed on those crossword solver sites, with anywhere from 4 to 11 letters. It was wild!
Feeling a bit lost, I remembered some advice I read online – start with the easy puzzles. So I put the “is in neutral” clue on the back burner and started working on some easier crosswords. I figured I needed to warm up my brain a bit, you know? This online crossword was pretty easy to use.
After a while, I went back to the “is in neutral” clue, feeling a bit more confident. I looked at all the possible answers I had found earlier, and tried to see if any of them fit with the other clues I had already solved in the puzzle.
And then, it hit me. I saw a word that seemed like it could work, and I plugged it in. It fit! I couldn’t believe it. I actually solved it! It felt so good to finally crack that code.
