DENIM

DEFINITION — ETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: Did this solve STRAUSS you out?

My Gameplay: TALES, PERCH, BOINK, MUDDY, DENIM

My suggestion is if you haven’t solved it by the fourth guess, come up with an obsure word with odd letters and give it a whirl. That’s how I bumped into MUDDY and walked away a winner. On to tomorrow!
