So, the other day, I was just chilling, scrolling through my phone, and I stumbled upon this crossword puzzle, the LA Times one. I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” I’m not really a crossword guy, but sometimes it’s fun to switch things up, you know?
I started filling in the easy ones, the ones I kinda knew off the top of my head. Then I hit a roadblock. There was this clue: “Did exceedingly well.” It was a real head-scratcher. I stared at it for a good while, trying to think of any word that could fit. Nothing was coming to mind.
I decided to look it up online. I mean, who doesn’t do that, right? It’s not cheating, it’s… uh… researching! Yeah, let’s go with that. I typed in “did exceedingly well crossword clue” into the search bar, and boom! A bunch of results popped up.
- “The Crossword Solver found 30 answers to Did exceedingly well.”
- “Today’s crossword puzzle clue is a quick one: Did exceedingly well. We will try to find the right answer to this particular crossword clue…”
- “Did exceedingly well Crossword Clue Answer is… Answer…”
- “While searching our database we found 1 possible solution for the: Did exceedingly well crossword clue…”
- “Answers for DID EXCEEDINGLY WELL crossword clue. Search for crossword clues…”
I saw a few different websites claiming to have the answer. It felt like a little treasure hunt, trying to find the right solution among all these possibilities. Some sites mentioned 8 letters, some 9, some even more. It was a bit all over the place.
Finally, I found one that looked promising. It said, “The solution we have for Did exceedingly well has a total of 8 letters.” Eight letters, huh? That narrowed it down a bit. I started going through the words they suggested.
And then, there it was, shining like a beacon of hope: TOREITUP. That’s it! That had to be it. It fit perfectly with the number of letters and the overall vibe of the phrase. The other possible solution is ACED IT, it also fit well.
Finding Process
I went back to the crossword, popped “TOREITUP” into the little boxes, and bam! It was like magic. Everything clicked. I even managed to fill in a few more words thanks to that one. It felt pretty darn good, I gotta say.
So yeah, that’s my little story of how I tackled that “did exceedingly well” crossword clue. It was a fun little adventure, and hey, I learned a new word in the process. Maybe I should do these crosswords more often. Or maybe not. We’ll see. It’s amazing what you can find with a simple search, isn’t it? And who would’ve thought that a crossword clue could lead to such an interesting little journey?
