Stuck on a Crossword? These Words Are At Least a 7

It was a sunny day in the small town of Crossville where the annual town fair was about to take place. Everyone was excited to enjoy the rides, food, and games. As they were setting up the carnival booths, something caught the eye of the young and curious Sarah.

It was a huge crossword puzzle that was being painted on the ground. Sarah’s eyes lit up as she saw how big and challenging the crossword was. She immediately went over to check it out and noticed that there were already a few letters filled in.

The clue that caught her attention read: “They’re at least a 7.” She couldn’t make sense of it. She twisted and turned the puzzle, trying to figure out what the answer could be. She asked a passerby if they knew the answer but they shook their head.

As she gazed down at the crossword, a few boys came running by, trying to catch a baseball. One of the boys slipped and fell, causing the ball to roll towards Sarah. She picked it up and noticed that the ball had the word ‘BASES‘ written on it.

Suddenly, everything clicked into place. Sarah realized that the answer to the crossword clue was ‘BASES,’ with each base representing a number in the popular game called ‘Baseball.‘ They say that knowledge can come from anywhere, and for Sarah, it came from a simple game of baseball. She quickly wrote the answer in and felt a rush of satisfaction.

From that moment, Sarah realized that some things in life, like the answer to a crossword clue or knowledge in general, may come from unexpected places. And in this case, it came from catching a baseball at the town fair.
