LEAST
Pun Play: It took me LESSEN a minute!

My Gameplay: PIOUS, STARE, YEAST, BEAST, LEAST
Nice ladder from YEAST → BEAST → LEAST. At the very least, this one felt fair. Have a great start to your week. On to tomorrow!

PETAL
Pun Play: Did you get STALK?

My Gameplay: PIOUS, PARTY, PETAL
I was sure it was either PLANT or PARTY. And I’m very glad I made the cirrect choice (for once). Have a super Sunday. On to tomorrow!
ELATE
Pun Play: I had it all RAPT up.

My Gameplay: PIOUS, TRADE, ABATE, ELATE
This is day #2 with a whiff on the first guess. I think my luck is running out with PIOUS. Watch it be the answer for tomorrow and I don’t play it. Wishing you a sunny Saturday. On to tomorrow!
GRAFT
Pun Play: He got his finger STOCK.

My Gameplay: PIOUS, TRADE, WRATH, GRANT, GRAFT
When my first guess was a whiff, I knew I was going to be in it for the long haul. My thought for today is I wonder how many players are going to get to their final guess and choose GRANT, only to come up one letter short. My hope is that it wasn’t you. TGIF y’all. On to tomorrow!
SPLIT
Pun Play: Did you HALVE any trouble?

My Gameplay: PIOUS, WATER, SPLIT
Solving 4 of the clue letters in my first 2 guesses made this one a breeze. Happy Thursday everyone. On to tomorrow!
TOWER
Pun Play: That’s all TALL tomorrow.

My Gameplay: PIOUS, WATER, TOWER
This solve ended up being a no-brainer after my knockout second guess. It gave me 4-clue letters, which made it feel like hitting the lottery. I’ve never hit the lottery, but I can only guess that’s how one would feel when they see the winning numbers for the first time. May your solve have flowed just as smoothly. Happy hump day Wednesday. On to tomorrow!
ANNEX
Pun Play: It doesn’t WING any bells.

My Gameplay: PIOUS, TRADE, GAVEL, ANNEX
I just knew there’d be a funky letter in there somewhere. We saw EXTOL last Thursday so the X was still fresh on my brain. Have a terrific Tuesday. On to tomorrow!
MIRTH
Pun Play: I SORROW lot of people that I knew.

My Gameplay: PIOUS, TRADE, BIRTH, GIRTH, MIRTH
This one had me stumped right up until the very end. The solution isn’t a word that rolls off the tongue during normal conversation. May your solve have been smoother. Have a great start to your week. On to tomorrow!
UNION
Pun Play: It weren’t too MERGE trouble.

My Gameplay: PIOUS, UNION
I took the double-letter cue from yesterday’s solve and decided to give it a whirl. Obviously it was a resounding success. Have a sensational Saturday. On to tomorrow!
RATTY
Pun Play: That’s definitely not DECAYS here.

My Gameplay: PIOUS, WATER, RATTY
My persistence of trying to use all the vowels really paid off today. I was confident the Y would be the last letter of the solve, leaving only a handful of consonants to sort through for a swift finish. TGIF and enjoy your weekend. On to tomorrow!
