Crossclimb #628 Answer – January 18, 2026
SINUSLUNGS
Answer
SINUSLUNGS
Combo Clue
“Two parts of the body that are involved in breathing, one singular and one plural”
📖 How I Solved It
I dove into puzzle #628 on January 18, 2026, and let me tell you, the combo clue about breathing was a bit tricky. I thought it would be obvious, but I got stuck trying to think of singular and plural body parts. At first, I guessed 'NOSTRILS' thinking of the nose, but that didn't fit. Then, I remembered the word 'SINUS', which led me down the right path. The word ladder was a fun challenge too! I almost mixed up 'WINES' with 'VINES' for a second, but thankfully, I caught that mistake before it derailed me. Once I got to 'RUNGS', I felt like I was really on the right track. Finally, figuring out 'LUNGS' clinched it for me. It was a satisfying moment when I realized I had the combo: SINUSLUNGS. What a ride!
