Well, I’ll be darned! So, you’re tellin’ me there’s this crossword puzzle thing, and folks are scratchin’ their heads tryin’ to figure out who this “Culture writer Rachel” is? Sounds like a whole lotta fuss over nothin’ if you ask me. But alright, let’s see what this is all about. They got these things called “clues” and you gotta fill in the little boxes. Sounds like somethin’ my grandkids would do, always fiddlin’ with them gadgets.
Now, from what I hear, this Rachel woman, she writes about “culture.” Culture, huh? What’s that even mean? Back in my day, culture was about plantin’ crops, raisin’ chickens, and makin’ sure the family had enough to eat. But I guess things are different now. Maybe she writes about them fancy city folks and their ways. Or maybe about books and movies, I don’t know.
This crossword puzzle, it seems like it’s in somethin’ called the “LA Times.” That’s a big city newspaper, way out west. Never been there myself. Too much hustle and bustle for an old lady like me. I like my peace and quiet, thank you very much. But these city folks, they love their puzzles and their games, keeps ‘em busy I reckon.
- They say this “Culture writer Rachel” clue has been showin’ up all over the place in these crosswords.
- And folks are lookin’ for answers, four letters long, they say.
- Four little letters to describe this Rachel woman and her writin’. Humph, seems kinda silly to me.
Now, they got these websites and things, “databases” they call ‘em, where they keep all the answers to these crossword puzzles. Imagine that! Somebody went and wrote down all the answers! Seems like cheatin’ to me, but then again, I never was one for puzzles. I prefer a good game of checkers.
I heard some folks sayin’ somethin’ about May 18th, 2024. Maybe that’s when this Rachel clue first showed up. Or maybe it was the last time. Honestly, I can’t keep track of all these dates and times. It’s all a blur to me these days. One day’s just like the next, you know?
And they talk about “solutions” and “possible answers.” Sounds like a whole lotta work for just a little puzzle. Why don’t they just ask Rachel herself? That would be the easiest way, wouldn’t it? But I guess that’s not how these puzzle folks work. They like the challenge, I suppose.
They even got these fancy words like “automata.” What in the world is that? Sounds like somethin’ out of a science fiction movie. And “shibboleth”? Don’t even get me started. These city folks and their fancy words, I tell ya. They just like to make things complicated.
So, this “Culture writer Rachel,” whoever she is, she’s got folks all riled up. And all because of a little crossword puzzle. Well, I guess it gives ’em somethin’ to do. Me? I’d rather be out in the garden, feelin’ the sun on my face and the dirt on my hands. That’s real life, not this crossword nonsense. But hey, to each their own, I always say.
Anyways, if you’re one of them folks tryin’ to solve this puzzle, good luck to ya. I hope you figure it out. And if you ever meet this Rachel woman, tell her an old lady said hello. Maybe she can explain what all the fuss is about.
And remember, life ain’t a crossword puzzle, there ain’t always just one right answer. Sometimes you just gotta do the best you can with what you got. That’s the real truth, no matter what them fancy city folks say.
