Alright, alright, let’s figure out this here crossword puzzle thingy. You know, the one with them squares and you gotta fill ’em in with words? Yeah, that one. This here puzzle, it’s talkin’ ’bout somethin’ like a dark chocolate dessert. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Like somethin’ them city folks eat. But we ain’t gonna let no fancy words scare us, no sir.
So, “like a dark chocolate dessert crossword clue”… that’s what we’re lookin’ at. Now, I ain’t no scholar, but I reckon that means we gotta find a word that fits in them little squares and it’s gotta be somethin’ you’d call a dark chocolate dessert. Keywords here, see? Dark chocolate and dessert. Keep them in mind, they’re important.
Now, this here puzzle, it seems like other folks been scratchin’ their heads about it too. I heard tell there’s different answers, dependin’ on how many squares you got. Sometimes it’s a long word, like, fourteen letters! Can you imagine? Fourteen! That’s more letters than I got in my whole name! They say it showed up in them city newspapers, the Daily Celebrity and the NY Times, and even that Daily Mirror. Fancy papers, them.
But then other times, it’s a short little word, just four letters. Like, “bam!” you know? Quick and easy. Seems like this four-letter word was in somethin’ called the “Vox Crossword” on May 21st. Don’t know what a Vox is, sounds like somethin’ you’d yell at a mule. Anyway, May 21st, that ain’t too long ago. So maybe this four-letter word is what we’re lookin’ for.
- Fourteen letters? Too long for my taste.
- Four letters? Now we’re talkin’.
They say there’s a fella, a “Crossword Solver” they call him, he found a whole bunch of answers. Thirty of ’em! For just “like a dessert.” And forty answers for just “like a dessert” clue! That’s a whole lotta desserts! My head’s spinnin’ just thinkin’ about it. And then there’s another puzzle, somethin’ by a fella named Eugene Sheffer, he had a clue ’bout a chocolate dessert too. Forty answers for that one too! Land sakes, seems like everyone’s makin’ puzzles ’bout desserts these days.
But we gotta focus. We’re lookin’ for somethin’ like a dark chocolate dessert. Not just any dessert, mind you. Gotta be dark chocolate. That means it’s gotta be kinda bitter, you know? Not too sweet. Like that time I tried to make a cake and put in too much cocoa… Whew, that was a strong one!
So, let’s think. What kinda words fit in them little squares and mean dark chocolate dessert? Could be somethin’ like “cake,” but that’s too plain. Gotta be somethin’ fancier. Maybe somethin’ like… “torte?” Yeah, that sounds fancy enough. But is it four letters? Nope. Too long. Hmm… What about “rich?” Could be. Dark chocolate is rich, ain’t it? And it’s four letters. Yep, I think that’s it. “Rich.”
“Rich” is like a dark chocolate dessert. It fits the clue. It’s four letters. And it makes sense. Dark chocolate is rich in flavor, rich in color, rich in… well, richness! It’s that simple, see? No need to get all flustered over these crossword puzzles. Just gotta think it through, plain and simple, like bakin’ a pie. You need the right ingredients, and you gotta put ’em together the right way.
So, there you have it. “Like a dark chocolate dessert crossword clue”? The answer, I reckon, is “rich”. Don’t matter if it’s from the Daily Celebrity or the Vox or whatever, a four-letter word that fits is a four-letter word that fits. And “rich” fits just right. Now, who’s ready for some pie?
