BELIE
Pun Play: Everyone FALSE down sometimes. The key is getting right back up!

My Gameplay: SLUMP, TRIAL, BLINK, DEVIL, BELIE
I’ve heard of the answer before, but it didn’t necessarily pop into my head with lightning speed! DEVIL was quite the appropriate word choice before I finally saw the light and picked up on it. May your solve have gone smoother than mine. On to tomorrow!
My solve went about the same as yours. I got it on the fifth try. Who ever would have thought of that for the starting word is a genius.
Happy Friday.
