I love a good crossword puzzle every now and then, even if they make me realize how little I actually know about the world. That said, some crossword clues are definitely less a matter of me being ignorant and more about whoever came up with them being annoyingly obtuse. Case in point, here’s what you need to know about the “That was my best shot” Crossword clue.
