GROVE

DEFINITION — ETYMOLOGY

Pun Play: When will we get some ARBOR ones?

My Gameplay: CRANE, PRIZE, DROVE, TROVE, GROVE

My third guess perfectly describes how I felt about the solve at the end. It DROVE me bananas! Was it GROVE or TROVE? Luckily, I had used the P in PRIZE so I didn’t have PROVE as a viable option. How’d you do? On to tomorrow!

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!
