Okay, so I was messing around online the other day, trying to solve some crosswords just to kill time. I stumbled upon this one clue, “NBA logo 3 paths,” and I was like, “What the heck does that even mean?” I mean, I know the NBA logo, it’s that dude dribbling, right?
So, I started digging. I went through a bunch of crossword solver sites. Most of them kept spitting out the same answer: ARCS. At first, I didn’t get it. But then it hit me. They’re talking about the basketball’s movement, like when someone shoots, the ball goes in an arc, you know?
- I checked out a few different websites that solve crosswords.
- They mostly gave me the same answer, “ARCS”.
- Then I realized they meant the path of the basketball, like when you shoot it.
Figuring Out the Clue
It’s kinda tricky because the clue doesn’t say “basketball paths” or anything like that. It just says “NBA logo 3 paths.” You gotta think a little outside the box. Maybe it refers to how we have three general paths in basketball game like shooting, passing and dribbling. The “3” might just be there to throw you off, or maybe it means that there are usually three ways a play can go. They had some other related clues listed too, like “Bows” and “Pinball paths”. I guess those also relate to the idea of things moving in curves.
Anyway, I finally figured it out. It was a bit of a head-scratcher, but I got there. So, yeah, “ARCS” is the answer they were looking for. It’s all about how the basketball moves. Pretty clever, I guess, once you get it. Or maybe I am wrong about “ARCS”, the “3 paths” could possibly means the three lines in the logo, that is, the left side, right side, and the bottom side.
This whole crossword thing got me thinking, though. These puzzles are designed to get harder as the week goes on. I guess the people who make them really put a lot of thought into these clues. They’re not always as straightforward as they seem. But, hey, that’s what makes them fun, right? Keeps your brain working, that’s for sure.
Anyway, just wanted to share my little adventure with this crossword clue. Hope you guys found it as interesting as I did!
