Okay, so, I was messing around with crosswords the other day, as one does when they’re bored and want a little brain teaser. I came across this clue, “Madison or Montgomery,” and I was like, “Hmm, what could this be?” I mean, those are two pretty well-known places, right? It got me thinking, this has got to be something these two have in common.
So, I started digging around a bit. I grabbed my phone and started searching for anything related to “Madison or Montgomery crossword.” You know, just typing it into the search bar to see what pops up. Turns out, this clue has been around for a while! I saw it mentioned on pages talking about crossword clues from way back in March, and even more recently in June. This wasn’t just a one-time thing, it was a recurring puzzle.
I found a bunch of different websites that track these clues, and a lot of them were saying there was only one possible answer. One clear solution. But then I stumbled upon other pages that were like, “Hold up, we’ve got 30, maybe even 40 possible answers for this bad boy!” Talk about a wide range of possibilities. It seemed a little strange that there could be so many variations for such a specific clue, but then again, crosswords can be tricky like that.
Anyways, I kept digging, determined to figure this thing out. I was scrolling through pages and pages of search results, clicking on different websites, trying to find a pattern or something that would help me solve it, because I just couldn’t let it go. I’m a bit stubborn like that when it comes to puzzles. I looked at crossword forums, crossword solver sites, even some general knowledge databases, but it was not easy finding what I was looking for.
Finally, after what felt like forever, I hit the jackpot. I found a page that clearly stated the answer for the “Madison or Montgomery” crossword clue, and it was so simple! You ready for this? It’s STATECAPITAL.
What I have learned
- Madison is the state capital of Wisconsin.
- Montgomery is the state capital of Alabama.
I know, right? It was staring me in the face the whole time! I felt a little silly for not getting it sooner, but also super satisfied that I finally cracked the code. It just goes to show, sometimes the most obvious answers are the ones we overlook. Also as an aside, I found out that the New York Times Crossword is like, the king of all crosswords, known for its tricky wordplay and clever themes. And apparently, the Saturday puzzle is the hardest one of the week, who knew? They say the Sunday puzzles are just medium difficulty. I might have to give those a try sometime. Anyway, that’s my little crossword adventure for you. Hope you enjoyed my rambling about solving this puzzle!
