Can’t solve the ‘Drains’ crossword? Discover the answer here!

Julie was always fascinated with puzzles. One day, she discovered a crossword puzzle book and started filling in each box with the words she knew. As she flipped through the pages, she stumbled upon a clue that read “empties completely.”

She scratched her head and tried to come up with an answer, then thought of her kitchen sink where water goes down a drain. She wrote in “drains” and continued with the next clues.

Suddenly, her mom called out from the kitchen, “Julie, have you used up all the milk?”

It made Julie think of how sometimes we use up things completely, just like how liquids use up the drain completely. And in no time, the answer to the clue “drains” popped into her head: “USESUP.”

From then on, Julie had a newfound appreciation for crossword puzzles, knowing it’s a creative way to expand her vocabulary and problem-solving skills.
