I can help, but I don’t have access to the current crossword database from here. If you can share the clue text exactly as it appears in the puzzle grid (including any punctuation or enumeration) I’ll try to deduce the answer and explain the reasoning. In the meantime, here are common strategies for the clue you gave:
- If the clue reads “at which state the drillers can rest” and it’s a standard American-style crossword, it’s likely a punny or cryptic-style clue. Possible approaches include:
- Looking for a phrase that sounds like “drillers” resting, such as “in repose,” “at ease,” or a state name embedded in a rest-related phrase.
- Considering “drillers” as a synonym for “oil workers” or “miners” and seeking a state name that could appear in a resting phrase (e.g., a state like “OREGON,” “IOWA,” etc., hidden in words meaning rest).
- Exploring homophones or wordplay involving “drillers” (e.g., “bores” as drillers) and where they would “rest” (e.g., “bores at ease” → “Bores at Ease” → sounds like a state).
If you can paste the exact grid location (e.g., 4D, 7A) or enumerate the letters you have, it’ll be much easier to pinpoint the answer.
