Almost There! Learn the Correct Answer to ‘Just Missed!’ Crossword Clue

Once upon a time, there was a clumsy runner named Jack. He had trained hard for a big race and was determined to win, but during the final moments, he stumbled and fell just a few inches short of the finish line. Disappointed but determined, he continued to train and practice until he was one of the best runners in the world.

Years later, Jack found himself working at a newspaper as a crossword puzzle editor. He smiled when he came across the clue ‘Just missed!’ and knew exactly which four-letter word would fit – ‘SOCLOSE.’

As he wrote in the answer, he thought back to his own moment of near victory. Although he had lost that race, he had learned the importance of perseverance and how close success can be. And with every crossword puzzle he created, he was reminded that even when things seem impossible, they can be ‘SOCLOSE‘.
