Alright, so I was trying to figure out this whole “divination deck with 78 cards” thing for a crossword puzzle. It kept popping up, and I just couldn’t get it at first. You know how those crossword puzzles can be sometimes, right? They just drive you nuts until you figure them out!
So, I started digging around, trying to find anything I could about this clue. I checked out a bunch of different crossword solver sites. I mean, there are tons of them out there. Some of them said there were like 30 possible answers, others said 40! It was crazy. But they all seemed to agree on one thing: this clue had been showing up in the LA Times and the New York Times crosswords, especially around May 28th, 2024.
I kept seeing this five-letter word popping up as the answer. I won’t spoil it for you just yet, in case you’re trying to solve it yourself. But I started to realize that this wasn’t just some random deck of cards. This was something specific, something that people actually use for fortune-telling or whatever. That’s when it clicked. I had heard of a special kind of card deck that people use for that sort of thing. It’s got all these different picture cards, and apparently, there are 78 of them in total. That had to be it, right?
- I searched for stuff like “pack of cards used in fortune-telling” and “set of cards used by fortune-tellers.”
- I found some definitions that were pretty close, like “picture card” and “sort of cards.”
- Finally, I stumbled upon the answer I was looking for!
Turns out, the answer to “divination deck with 78 cards” is TAROT. Makes sense, right? Once I figured it out, it felt so obvious. Like, “duh, of course!” It’s just one of those things that you don’t think about until you see it in a crossword puzzle. Anyway, I just wanted to share my little adventure with you all. Maybe it’ll help someone else out who’s stuck on the same clue. Or maybe you just think it’s funny how much time I spent on a single crossword clue. Either way, hope you got a kick out of it!
What a crazy experience!
I spent way too much time on this, but hey, at least I can finally move on with my life. I mean I even tried to recall which movie has this kind of thing and wrote it down to remind myself I need to find time to watch them again. But hey, it’s all good now. Crossword puzzles, man, they’re a trip. It was a wild ride. It just felt like a waste of time before I could figure it out. But yeah, hope you guys learned something today.
