Okay, so I’ve been trying to solve this crossword puzzle, right? And there’s this one clue that’s been driving me nuts: “Some WNBA fouls.” I kept staring at it, racking my brain, trying to think of all the different types of fouls in basketball.
I started by listing out all the common ones I could remember:

- Personal foul – Yeah, that’s a basic one.
- Charging foul – Happens all the time.
- Blocking foul – Yep, see that a lot too.
- Flagrant foul – Ooh, those are nasty.
- Technical foul – Wait, that might be something.
I went through each of them, trying to see if any of those words could somehow fit into the five-letter space in the puzzle. Nope, nothing. I even tried to think of slang terms or abbreviations, but still nothing. I was totally stumped.
So, I decided to do what any normal person would do – I turned to the internet. I started searching for things like “WNBA fouls crossword clue” and “5-letter WNBA fouls.” I scrolled through a bunch of different crossword solver sites, hoping to find a hint or, let’s be honest, just the answer.
And guess what? I finally found it! It turns out the answer is “TECHS.” I felt a mix of relief and also a bit of “duh” because it’s short for technical fouls. After I put it into the puzzle, it suddenly became a lot easier to fill the rest.
It was a good reminder that sometimes the answer is simpler than you think. And also that it’s okay to ask for help, even if it’s from the internet, to solve a crossword puzzle, haha.
