Lost all patience

As a detective, the first thing I did was analyze the clue ‘Lost all patience’. My insights told me that it was asking for a phrase or word that meant losing patience completely. I began to look at the grid and highlight any squares that could fit with the available letters. Eventually, I found it – the answer was ‘HADIT’. The word ‘had’ indicates a past tense; hence, it is a clue to finding a word that refers to something that is no longer there. Meanwhile, ‘it’ refers to a perfect and complete end. Combined, ‘had it’ could mean that someone had lost all patience, giving them no more tolerance or patience to deal with the situation at hand. The insights allowed me to decipher the crossword clue, and it led me to solve the riddle with ease.
