It's On The Tip Of My Tongue



What Is This?
This is an almost completed crossword puzzle. I just figured out 24-Across. And that's Alex Frost's hand because he wanted to "be in the picture".

Hate It Or Love It?
Don't you love it when you think of the perfect word after being stumped for a long time?

This isn't just exclusive to crossword puzzles. It can happen when you're writing an essay or making casual conversation. And if you're not a really...what's the word? Oh yeah, eloquent. If you're not a really eloquent person, translating thoughts into words can be surprisingly difficult.

Sometimes, you can perfectly describe the word you need but just can't quite think of it. You know it exists and its on the tip of your tongue but you just keep losing it. So much for studying those SAT vocabulary flash cards. Then...BINGO. A light bulb goes off in your head and the word jumps out of your mouth. Perfect.

Hint: If you're typing something up and you can't think of the right word, you can usually use the Right Click -> Synonyms function of Microsoft Word. It works wonders. Unless your name is Joey Tribbiani.
