WEEKDAYS
Answer
WEEKDAYS
Combo Clue
“A compound word for the parts of a Sunday to Saturday period that are most commonly spent working or at school”
📖 How I Solved It
This puzzle really had me scratching my head at first! The combo clue about 'the parts of a Sunday to Saturday period that are most commonly spent working or at school' threw me for a loop. I was trying to think of something like 'workdays' or 'school days', but those didn't fit. I eventually landed on 'WEEKDAYS' after a couple of wrong guesses. I even tried 'WEEKENDS' at one point because I was so confused. The word ladder was a fun challenge too; I couldn't quite see how 'WEEK' transformed into 'DAYS' without the other words in between. But once I got going, it was like a lightbulb moment! I just kept visualizing each word leading me closer to the end.
