PREEN

DEFINITION — ETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: Be careful if you choose to TIDY knot.

My Gameplay: SPATE, PERIL, CHURN, PREEN

Repeating E’s were no surprise after my penultimate guess. By forgetting about the placement of the letters for a moment and focusing on chewing up viable tiles led me to the correct position of the R and a quick finish. Not too shabby for the first puzzle of our work week. Happy Monday to you all. On to tomorrow!
