CHIRP

DEFINITION — ETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: She BIRDIE bit more than she could chew.

My Gameplay: HYMNS, PHOTO, CHEAP, CHIRP

I opened with HYMNS, hoping to get some early consonant coverage, and it gave me an H to work with. From there I went with PHOTO, which kept that H alive but still out of place. On the third guess, CHEAP really lit things up — locking in the C, H, and P, while also revealing the R was hiding in the mix. That left the path pretty clear, and sure enough, my fourth guess CHIRP landed it. A clean four-step solve. Have a great start to your week. On to tomorrow!
