I’ll be honest — this puzzle had me going in circles for a while. I started off with the clues And, Or, and But. After a series of wrong turns, I realized they all pointed to something much simpler than I expected. They are coordinating conjunctions. My initial thought was to overcomplicate it, thinking of phrases and complex grammatical structures. But as I jotted down each clue, I found myself connecting them more deeply.
| Word | Connection | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| And | Joining thoughts | This conjunction adds ideas together, showing their relationship. |
| Or | Alternatives | It presents options or choices between different ideas. |
| But | Contrasting ideas | It contrasts two different thoughts, often emphasizing conflict. |
| Yet | Contradiction | This word implies a surprising contrast or contradiction. |
| So | Cause and effect | It links ideas to show a cause and effect relationship. |
Q: What if I got stuck on a clue?
A: Take a moment to revisit each clue and think about how they relate.
Q: How do conjunctions fit into grammar?
A: They connect words, phrases, or clauses, making sentences clearer.
