Stumped on crossword clue? Discover who’s first to play!

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a kingdom of competitive sports. Every year, there was a grand tournament held in the kingdom, attracting thousands of athletes from far and wide. But before any of the games could begin, there was one group of players who had to take the field first – the STARTERS.

The STARTERS were the first athletes to play in each game. They set the tone for the rest of the match, and their performance often determined the outcome. As such, they were highly valued and respected members of the sporting community.

One year, as the tournament approached, the kingdom’s newspaper, The Daily Herald, was running a crossword puzzle with the clue “They’re first to play.” Many people were stumped by the puzzle, unable to figure out what the answer could be.

One day, a young athlete named Jack stumbled upon the puzzle and immediately knew the answer – STARTERS! He had been a STARTER in his own games and recognized the importance of their role.

Excited to share his newfound knowledge with the rest of the kingdom, Jack raced to The Daily Herald’s office and proudly shouted, “I know the answer to the crossword puzzle! It’s STARTERS!”

The editor of the newspaper was thrilled by Jack’s enthusiasm and impressed by his knowledge of the sporting world. In gratitude, he invited Jack to write a weekly column for the paper about the sports in the kingdom.

From that day on, Jack became known as the expert on all things sports-related in the land. And whenever anyone saw the crossword clue “They’re first to play.” they knew without a doubt that the answer was STARTERS.
