Some frozen waffles Crossword solution in NYT

• Hint 1: It sounds like a popular toy company specializing in building creations.
• Hint 2: Even though it’s a waffle, chickens are casting a watchful eye over its name.
• Hint 3: It’s primarily an American-based breakfast.
• Hint 4: It begins with an “E.”

Four clues later, and it’s time for me to stop waffling on and tell you the answer.

“EGGOS” is the solution to seven across in the July 10 edition of the NYT Mini Crossword puzzle. The breakfast is a staple of many quick and easy morning meals where speed is the focus. As a non-U.S. resident, this wasn’t a simple answer for me, nor will it be for many people around the world, but that’s what makes the food so special.

Some frozen waffles clue difficulty rating, explained

This is a regional clue, and where you’re based has a big bearing on how quickly you get this answer—if at all. I categorically did not know this answer and only got it through the process of elimination, solving other clues first. As a U.K. resident, this gets the full five-star rating in terms of difficulty, but if you’re based in America, I say a three is fair enough, but I would like Eggos to be readily available elsewhere.
