BLAME

DEFINITION — ETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: Life was easy when he was FAULTING all the bills.

My Gameplay: SMILE, DRAFT, BLAME

My first guess put a big ol’ grin on my face. As you can see, I scored three letters right off the bat, and the E was in the correct position. I figured I only needed one more letter to solve the puzzle so my second guess was to use up some of the more common letters. The rest is history. Have a marvelous Monday everyone. On to tomorrow!

BIRTH

DEFINITION — ETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: Save WOMB for dad because he’ll be back soon.

My Gameplay: CRANE, SHORT, BIRTH

NORTH would’ve been my next guees, but I noticed I had tried the O in the previous solution. The -TH suffix produces a lot of words, so luckily BIRTH was the only guess I needed to take. Enjoy your Sunday. On to tomorrow!
