Record

As a detective, the clue “Record” in a crossword puzzle immediately made me think of synonyms for the word “record“. I considered words like “document“, “register“, “note“, and “enter“. However, none of these words were the correct length for the answer. I then looked at the structure of the crossword puzzle and realized that the word “Record” could fit in perfectly to intersect with the word “Wood” which ended in a ‘G’. Immediately, I thought of the word “Log” which also means record, especially in the context of logging wood. I quickly checked the remaining intersecting words, and sure enough, “Log” fit perfectly. Thus, by piecing together clues from the crossword puzzle, I was able to successfully solve the mystery and provide the answer of “Log“.
