Okay, so today I decided to tackle a crossword puzzle, you know, just to keep the old brain ticking. And there it was, staring me in the face: “the altar constellation”. I’m no astronomy whiz, but I do enjoy a good mental workout.
First, I racked my brain. Altars… constellations… what could it be? I thought maybe it was something obvious that I was just blanking on. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
So, I started listing constellations I vaguely remembered. You know, the Big Dipper, Orion… the usual suspects. Nope, none of them seemed to have anything to do with altars.
My Simple Process
- Tried recalling known constellations.
- Considered if “altar” had another meaning.
- Decided to just try the all-power search.
Then, I thought, “Maybe ‘altar’ has some other meaning here?”. I mean, crosswords can be tricky like that. Could it be a code word? A historical reference? My mind was going in circles.
Finally, I gave in. I decided to check to see if that’s the right answer. I typed “the altar constellation crossword clue” into the search bar, fingers crossed.
And boom! There it was, the answer staring right back at me was “Ara”. Turns out, Ara is a constellation, and it represents an altar. Who knew, It’s those small victory make me feel good.
