Answer
HONEYCOMBS
Combo Clue
“A compound word for masses of hexagons in a hive”
📖 How I Solved It
So, I sat down to tackle puzzle #633, and right off the bat, I was excited about the combo clue: 'A compound word for masses of hexagons in a hive.' I thought, 'HONEYCOMBS!' But then I hit a snag with the word ladder. I couldn't remember if 'BONES' or 'BORES' came first. I even guessed 'HONEY' to 'BONES' right away, but then I froze. I mean, who knew that 'BORES' would be my biggest brain freeze? I kept thinking of how to make those stories interesting instead of just making them 'boring,' which totally threw me off. After a couple of wrong turns, I finally worked my way through, and it felt so good when I connected all the dots. The word ladder became a fun little challenge instead of a frustrating roadblock. Finally getting to 'COMBS' made everything click, and it was such a relief to see it all come together!
