Stuck on ‘apropos of’ in your crossword? Find the answer here!

As a detective solving the mystery of the crossword clue “Apropos of“, my first thought was to search for synonyms of the phrase. I figured that if I could find words that meant the same thing, it would be easier to narrow down the potential answers. “Regarding” and “concerning” came to mind as possible synonyms, so I started testing out various letter combinations that fit those words. After filling in a few intersecting clues, I realized that the answer had to start with “AS” and have three letters following it. Suddenly, “ASTO” popped into my mind as a possibility. It fits the clue perfectly, meaning “with respect to” or “regarding”. I quickly filled it in and felt a rush of satisfaction knowing that I had solved another piece of the puzzle. It just goes to show that sometimes it’s all about thinking outside the box and trusting your instincts when it comes to solving crossword clues.
