So, I was messing around with this crossword, right? The clue was “profile features on dating apps,” and I was totally stumped. I mean, dating apps? Not exactly my area of expertise, but hey, a challenge is a challenge.
First, I started by thinking about what you usually see on those dating profiles. You got your pictures, obviously. Then there’s that little section where people talk about themselves. I racked my brain, trying to remember what those sections are called.
- Tried thinking about what I might put on a dating profile if I made one.
- Googled “what are the sections of a dating app profile?”
- Considered “photos” but that’s not a very unique term.
I decided to jot down some possibilities. “Hobbies,” maybe? But that didn’t seem quite right. Then it hit me – “Bio!” That’s it! That short little blurb where people try to sum themselves up. I typed “BIO” into the crossword, but nope, too short.
Then I remembered, sometimes these crosswords use really basic words. I tried a bunch of random stuff, but nothing worked. I was starting to feel like I was never gonna get it. But I kept at it, staring at the clue, trying to force my brain to work.
Finally get the answer
I re-read the clue one more time. And then suddenly I thought of another word, more general and simple – maybe it’s something about their interests, like what they are into? I typed in “interests,” and it fit!
Seriously, it was such a simple answer, but it took me a while to get there. These crosswords can be tricky, but it’s always satisfying when you finally crack the code. That’s my little adventure with the “profile features on dating apps” crossword clue. Anyone else ever get stumped by something seemingly simple?
