"I've ___!" (words of impatience)

As I began solving the crossword puzzle, my eyes locked onto the clue, “I’ve ___!” The answer had to be a short phrase expressing impatience. The first thing that came to mind was the phrase “had it,” often used to convey frustration or exasperation. However, it seemed incomplete since the clue indicated a missing word. I pondered further, considering words that could complement “had it” and emphasize impatience. Suddenly, a lightbulb moment struck me – “I’ve HAD IT!” The missing word had to be “it,” making the answer “HADIT.” It perfectly captured the desired impatience and frustration, revealing a simple but effective clue solution. It just goes to show that sometimes, the answer lies in our own exasperated moments, waiting to be uncovered with a little deductive thinking.
