Answer

Combo Clue
“A two-word phrase for where your information is stored”
📖 How I Solved It
I dove into puzzle #602 on a chilly December evening, and let me tell you, it had me scratching my head! The combo clue, 'A two-word phrase for where your information is stored,' seemed straightforward at first, but I couldn't nail it down immediately. I stumbled around with some wrong guesses like 'Data Bank' and 'Info Hub' before realizing I was just overthinking it. The word ladder gave me a little trouble, especially the transition from RATA to RATE. I thought I was onto something with 'RATA' being a type of basis, but I wasn't confident. Once I finally connected the dots to 'DATAFILE', everything clicked into place, and I felt like a puzzle genius! It's funny how that works sometimes.
