Answer
POINTCLICK
Combo Clue
“Two things you do with a computer mouse.”
📖 How I Solved It
I tackled puzzle #612 on January 2nd, and man, it threw me for a loop! The combo clue, 'Two things you do with a computer mouse,' had me initially stuck on just 'click' and 'point.' I was convinced the answer was some tech jargon I didn't know, and I almost guessed 'clickpoint'—thankfully, I caught myself before submitting! The word ladder was a bit tricky too. I got caught up on 'PAINT' because I couldn't picture Monet and Van Gogh in the context of a word ladder. I mean, who doesn't love a good painting? Once I figured out the connection, the rest fell into place. It's always satisfying to see the words click together, literally! By the end, I felt pretty accomplished for solving it.
💡 Tips for This Puzzle

- •Don't rush through the word ladder; take a moment to visualize each word's meaning.
- •If you're stuck, try writing down possible combinations; sometimes seeing them helps clear your mind.
