Okay, so the other day, I was trying to solve this crossword puzzle, and I got stuck on this one clue: “flatbread appetizer.” I thought I’d share how I finally cracked it.
First, I racked my brain thinking about all the different kinds of flatbreads I know. You’ve got your pita, naan, focaccia…the list goes on. But none of those seemed to fit with the spaces I had in the puzzle.
Then, I started thinking about appetizers. What do you usually see served with flatbread? Hummus, baba ghanoush, tzatziki…still nothing that fit the number of letters I needed.
I decided to look it up online. I typed “flatbread appetizer crossword clue” into the search bar, and checked out a few crossword solver websites. I saw a lot of different answers, some saying there are about 30 possible answers and some saying 40, I felt a bit dizzy.
- One site listed a bunch of potential answers, but they were all over the place in terms of length.
- Another one mentioned that the clue had been seen in the Chicago Sun-Times crossword, which didn’t really help me much.
- One offered a free crossword puzzle solver, but I wanted to figure it out myself.
Feeling a bit stuck, I took a break. Sometimes you just need to step away for a bit, right? I made myself a cup of tea, looked out the window for a few minutes, and then came back to the puzzle with fresh eyes.
And then it hit me! The answer was staring me right in the face. It wasn’t about a specific type of flatbread or dip. It was a more general term that describes a common way to serve flatbread as an appetizer.
The answer?
BRUSCHETTA
It all made sense! Bruschetta is often made with toasted flatbread and various toppings. I filled in the answer, and it fit perfectly with the other clues. Success!
So yeah, that’s how I solved the “flatbread appetizer” crossword clue. It was a good reminder that sometimes the most obvious answers are the hardest to see. And that taking a break can be the best way to solve a problem!
