Stuck on today’s puzzle. You are not alone. It gave me a headache. That one repeating letter really messes with your head.
If you need a hand, read on. Or don’t. But the answer is right there.
BASIS
It started slow. Then I hit the B. The rest followed.
What is today’s answer?
The word is BASIS.
Simple. Foundation. Ground floor. It works as a noun and a concept. The underlying principle of something. The start point.
Clues for next time
Don’t spoil it if you still have tries left. Here is how to find it yourself:
- There is only one repeated letter.
- It has exactly two vowels.
- Starts with a B.
- Ends with an S.
Yesterday? CHILI. Spicy, but easy enough.
Before that?
- ETUDE
- SMILE
- CLANG
- DIVOT
A mixed bag.
Still picking starters?
You don’t have to guess. Use math. Look at frequency.
Stick to E, A, and R. Skip Z, J, Q. Unless you want to waste two turns on bad vibes.
Try these:
- ADIEU
- TRAIN
- CLOSE
- STARE
- NOISE
Do any of those work? Maybe. But sometimes you just have to get lucky.
Is it harder than usual today? Hard to say. Depends on how many letters you already burned through.
