Combo Clue
“Compound word for a series of drawings that outline a film's plot”
📖 How I Solved It
I jumped into puzzle #590 today and my first thought was, 'This is gonna be fun!' The combo clue about a compound word for a series of drawings outlining a film's plot had me thinking about storyboarding right away. But the word ladder really threw me for a loop at first. The clue for 'STARE' was the trickiest for me because I kept overthinking it—I thought it might be something more complex than just looking without blinking! But then came my 'aha moment.' I realized that the ladder was connecting simple words, and when I finally connected 'STORY' to 'STORE,' everything clicked into place. I even made a wrong guess on 'SOARS,' thinking it was something that rhymed! But once I got my bearings, I zipped through to 'BOARD' and felt that sweet victory of finishing the puzzle. It's always the little triumphs that make puzzling so satisfying.
