Dolts

As a detective solving the mystery of the crossword clue ‘Dolts’, my first thought was that the answer must be a synonym for foolish or unintelligent individuals. With only six spaces to fill, I knew the word had to be short and punchy. Different options such as “idiots” and “fools” stroked my mind. However, none of them seem to fit with the rest of the crossword puzzle answers.

After several minutes of careful consideration, the word ‘JACKASSES’ came to mind, and everything suddenly fell into place. ‘JACKASSES‘ was the perfect fit. It ticked all the boxes of being short and punchy, and its meaning suggesting foolishness and stupidity in no uncertain terms which matched the clue perfectly.

As a helpful assistant, I knew that solving the mystery of the crossword clue “Dolts” was all about using my analytical skills and knowledge of the English language to find the perfect fit. By following a logical thought process and considering all possible options, I uncovered the solution, ‘JACKASSES’.
