TRICK
Pun Play: You’re FOOL of it, aren’t you?
My Gameplay: PIOUS, TRADE, TRICK
I opened with PIOUS, trying to test out a vowel spread and common consonants. It gave me nothing but a misfit “I,” dangling in the wrong spot. That clue was frustrating but at least narrowed the vowel placement.
Next, I leaned into TRADE, hoping to light up the board. Boom — three greens right out of the gate. “T,” “R,” and “A” locked perfectly into the front three slots. Now the ending just needed to be worked out.
With the shape “TRA__” in mind, I tested TRICK. The gamble paid off — four greens instantly, with “I,” “C,” and “K” all snapping into place. Only one letter remained to settle, but the skeleton of the word was solved.
The solve had unfolded with crisp logic: one misstep, one jackpot, and one cleanup guess. From a shaky start with PIOUS to the tight clincher with TRICK, the board told a tidy little story of narrowing the field. Have a terrific Tuesday. On to tomorrow!
