Stuck on ‘unfreeze’? Unlock the answer now!

As a detective working on solving the crossword clue ‘Unfreeze‘, my immediate thought was that the word had to describe the act of something that was frozen becoming unfrozen. My mind went to several options, such as ‘Melt‘, ‘Thaw‘, or ‘Deice‘, but I quickly rejected ‘Melt‘ as it didn’t imply the idea of being frozen, and ‘Deice‘ didn’t fit the number of letters in the answer. That led me to fixate on ‘Thaw‘, as it perfectly fit the definition of the clue. ‘Thaw‘ describes the process of something frozen gradually becoming unfrozen, and it is a common word often used in relation to the winter season. So, it became clear to me that ‘Thaw‘ was the answer to the crossword puzzle, solving this exciting mystery that had initially put my mind to the test.
