Okay, so the other day, I was messing around with this crossword, yeah? The clue was “campfire beverage,” and I was stumped. I mean, what do you even drink around a campfire? My mind went straight to hot chocolate, but that didn’t fit. So I did what any sane person would do – I hit the internet.
First, I just googled “campfire beverage crossword clue.” Man, there are a ton of these crossword solver sites out there. The first one I clicked on had like 30 possible answers! It was overwhelming. I scrolled through them, and some were just ridiculous. I mean, who drinks “ale” around a campfire?

I went to another site, and this one was a little more organized. It listed the clue and then had a bunch of possible answers with the number of letters. It even said when the clue was last seen in a specific puzzle, which was kind of cool, I guess. I saw “cocoa” there, which is basically hot chocolate, and it fit the letter count, but I wasn’t sure.
Narrowing it down
- Tried some more sites: I kept digging, checking out a few more of these crossword solver sites. Some had slightly different answers, but “cocoa” kept popping up.
- Looked at the puzzle again: I went back to the actual crossword I was doing. I counted the letters, and yeah, “cocoa” fit perfectly.
- Considered other options: I mean, I thought about other drinks. Maybe coffee? But that didn’t fit. Beer? Nope.
Finally, I just put “cocoa” in the puzzle. And guess what? It worked! I felt pretty good, like I’d cracked some secret code or something. It’s funny how something so simple can be so satisfying.
So yeah, that’s the story of how I figured out the “campfire beverage” crossword clue. It was a whole journey, I tell ya. But hey, at least I learned that “cocoa” is a popular answer for that clue. And now I have a craving for some hot chocolate. Maybe I’ll build a campfire in the backyard tonight… just kidding, my neighbors would kill me.
