If you answer the first word of a crossword puzzle, you may get a hint of the next word. As more words are completed, the hints or partially revealed words become more visible. You are not getting smarter but it feels that way.
In rural Congo, children going to school need a help getting the first word. They may need help with the second, third, and fourth words. But sooner or later, school becomes more doable.
The first word may be a scholarship to help pay their tuition. The second word may be notebook paper. Each need individually is not so great if you take it one step at a time.
