📖 How I Solved It
I tackled puzzle #603 on Christmas Eve, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a brain workout! The combo clue 'A two-word statement to a group of canines' had me stumped at first. I kept thinking of phrases like 'Good Boys' or 'Paw-some Crew' before it finally hit me: 'GOOD DOGS'! The word ladder was also tricky. I thought I had 'GONE' down pat, but I completely blanked on how to connect it to 'DONE'. I ended up putting 'GONG' instead, thinking it fit the vibe, but that was a bust. Once I finally pieced it all together, it felt great to see the solution unfold. Overall, I had a blast, but I definitely got a little frustrated along the way!
💡 Tips for This Puzzle
- •Keep the combo clue in mind; it can help guide your word choices.
- •Don't be afraid to play around with letter combinations even if they seem wrong at first.
- •Check each word in the ladder carefully; one wrong guess can throw you off.
