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!
SPORE
Pun Play: He’s such a FUNGI.
My Gameplay: PIOUS, SNOOP, WEARY, SPORE
The solve’s a cinch when you’ve guessed all of the clue letters. What a perfect way to end a week of gameplay. Have a sunny Sunday. 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!
EXTOL
Pun Play: HAIL never give up.
My Gameplay: PIOUS, WATER, GLYPH, MOTEL, EXTOL
Playing the “X” sooner never occurred to me. To my credit, it’s one of the misfit letters (Q,Z, and X) that aren’t in many words. Hopefully it wasn’t an issue for you. Happy Thursday. On to tomorrow!
LLAMA
Pun Play: I solved it HAUL by myself.
My Gameplay: PIOUS, TRADE, BLANK, LLAMA
I knew there were repeating letters in there somewhere when using up all the vowels didn’t get me anywhere. What really caught me by surprise was the fact that there was a set of 2 repeating letters. Have a happy hump day Wednesday. On to tomorrow!
ROWDY
Pun Play: Throw HOLLER stuff away.
My Gameplay: PIOUS, LOFTY, BREAD, ROWDY
It took a few minutes but it eventually came to me. Have a terrific Tuesday. On to tomorrow!
