Stuck on a crossword? Meet the person with a stopwatch!

Once upon a time, there was a small village called Timetown. The villagers of Timetown were very punctual and valued time more than anything else. However, they had a big problem; they did not have an accurate way of measuring time. Every day, they would estimate how much time had passed by looking at the position of the sun in the sky. This made it difficult for them to operate efficiently, and they were often late for important meetings and events.

One day, a young man named Timmy came to the village, and he introduced himself as a timekeeper. He carried a stopwatch with him, and he promised the villagers that he would help them manage their time better. At first, they were skeptical, but Timmy was determined to prove himself.

The villagers asked Timmy how he planned to keep track of time, to which he replied, “With this stopwatch, I will measure the duration of every activity and event that takes place in Timetown.” The villagers were amazed, and they offered Timmy a job as the official timekeeper of Timetown.

From that day onwards, Timmy kept a close eye on the stopwatch, and he diligently recorded the duration of every activity and event that took place in Timetown. Thanks to him, the villagers were able to manage their time efficiently, and they were never late for anything. Timmy became a beloved member of the village, and he continued to serve as the timekeeper for many years to come.

And that is the story of how a person with a stopwatch became known as a “timekeeper” and how they became the answer to one of our favorite crossword clues.
