APHID
Pun Play: Don’t tell me you’re SCARAB a tough solve???

My Gameplay: CRANE, HABIT, GLOWS, CAMPY, APHID
Happy Thursday everyone! Yesterday in the comments someone mentioned that they had a difficult time arriving at the solution with the clue word that they chose. I replied that CRANE is the best word to use based on the letters that were used in the previous #396 puzzles. My advice may not have worked today, but I’ll keep using it to see how well it pans out. Oh, I also read somewhere that a person had good luck with AROMA. I’ll stick with CRANE though because it reminds me of the television show Frasier. Happy thoughts can’t be topped. On to tomorrow!
