Alright, let’s talk about this “_ de France crossword clue” thing. You know, them crossword puzzles, they always tryin’ to be clever. Makes a body scratch their head sometimes.
So, this “_ de France,” what could it be? Well, I ain’t no fancy city folk, but I know a thing or two. France, that’s a place over the water, right? They got all sorts of things over there. Words, places, you name it.
Now, this here crossword clue, it’s got a blank space in front of “de France.” That means somethin’s gotta go in there. Could be a short word, could be a long word. Hard to say without lookin’ at them little boxes in the puzzle.
- Maybe it’s a place, like a town or somethin’. They got lots of them over there, I hear.
- Or maybe it’s a thing, you know, somethin’ they do or use in France. Like them fancy cars they make, or that wine they drink.
- Could even be a person’s name, I guess. Some famous French fella, maybe. Though I can’t think of any off the top of my head, ‘cept maybe that Napoleon fella.
The puzzle folks, they like to be tricky. They use words you don’t hear every day. And sometimes, the answer is right under your nose, but you just can’t see it. It’s like lookin’ for your glasses when they’re on your head, you know?
I seen some folks sayin’ it could be “TOUR.” That makes sense, I reckon. Tour de France, that’s that big bicycle race they got. People ridin’ all over the place, wearin’ them tight pants. Seems like a lot of work to me, but they seem to like it.
Then there’s “ILE.” That’s a short one. Means “island” in French, or so I’m told. Could be an island over there in France, I suppose. Lots of water around, so it wouldn’t surprise me none.
And someone mentioned “ELLE.” That means “she” in French. Now, why they’d put “she” in front of “de France,” I don’t know. Maybe it’s part of a longer phrase, or somethin’. Like I said, them puzzle folks are tricky.
I also heard tell of “TAPE.” Now that’s a funny one. Apparently, it means a leg of that Tour de France race I was talkin’ about. Not the leg on your body, mind you, but a part of the race. See what I mean? Tricky!
It could be lots of things, really. That’s the trouble with these crossword puzzles. You gotta try all sorts of words ’til you find the one that fits. It’s like tryin’ to find the right key for a lock, you know?
But don’t you go frettin’ over it too much. It’s just a puzzle, after all. Ain’t gonna hurt nobody if you can’t figure it out. Just take a break, have a cup of coffee, and come back to it later. Sometimes, the answer just pops into your head when you ain’t even tryin’.
And if you still can’t figure it out, well, there’s always the back of the book, ain’t there? No shame in lookin’ at the answers. We all need a little help sometimes. Don’t let them crossword puzzle folks make you feel bad.
I remember one time, I was stuck on a clue for days. It was somethin’ about a bird, and I just couldn’t get it. Tried all sorts of birds, from robins to eagles, but nothin’ fit. Finally, I gave up and looked at the answer. Turned out, it was a “loon.” A loon! Never even heard of it. See, that’s what I mean about them bein’ tricky.
So, if you’re stuck on this “_ de France” clue, don’t worry about it. It could be “TOUR,” it could be “ILE,” it could be somethin’ else entirely. Just keep tryin’, and if all else fails, well, there’s always the back of the book. And remember, it’s just a puzzle. Ain’t nothin’ to get your feathers ruffled about.
They say there’s lots of answers, like even three letters or maybe four letters. Longest one they say is “TOUR”, and the short one is “ILE”. Makes a body tired just thinkin’ about it.
So go on, give it another shot. And if you figure it out, well, good for you. If not, well, there’s always another puzzle tomorrow. Life’s too short to spend it worryin’ about crossword clues, that’s what I always say.
And if somebody tells you different, well, you just tell ’em that old lady so-and-so said so. They won’t argue with that, I reckon.
