📖 How I Solved It
I tackled puzzle #685 feeling pretty confident until I hit the word ladder. The clue for 'WAVE' threw me for a loop. I initially thought of something completely unrelated, like a surf term or something! After scratching my head, I finally remembered the iconic Mexican Wave at sports events. I didn't get that one right away, which made me second-guess my strategy. I also got stuck at 'CAGE' for a moment, thinking it might relate to some sort of sports term or animal reference. Once I sorted through those, the other words fell into place pretty smoothly. By the time I reached 'COPY', I was just excited to see how they'd all connect into the final combo answer, SAVECOPY. Such a satisfying finish!
