CLING
Pun Play: The answer was SARAN me right in the face!

My Gameplay: SWEAT, PLONK, FURRY, CHIME, CLING
Not an easy task coming up with the answer to this one. My starting word ended up being a dud. My backup word blessed me with an L & N, but no answer came to mind so I played FURRY. It did nothing but end up giving me paws! The etymology on CLING states it’s of Old English origin. Sounds like it to me when I say it out loud. And even more so when I roll the CL just a little bit longer. Almost regal sounding to an extent. On to tomorrow!
