Don’t let this crossword clue get the best of you! Find out the answer to ‘Total kvetch’

As a detective, I had to put my thinking cap on to solve the mystery of the crossword clue ‘Total kvetch‘. Firstly, ‘kvetch’ is a Yiddish term for a person who complains a lot or a chronic complainer. Therefore, I knew I was looking for a single word that described someone constantly whining. Secondly, the clue used the word ‘total’, which gave me a hint that I needed a word that meant ‘absolute‘ or ‘complete‘ in conjunction with the word ‘complainer’.

With these insights, I started brainstorming words that could fit the bill. After a few attempts, the word ‘MOANER‘ came to mind; it was the perfect word that described someone who complained constantly in an absolute or complete sense. It made sense that this word would be fitting for the crossword clue ‘Total kvetch’.

In conclusion, when solving a crossword, intuition and recognizing key words in the clues play an important role. In this case, the use of the word ‘kvetch’ and ‘total’, when combined with my general knowledge, led me to the word ‘moaner’.
