Tricky day. The grid throws a few uncommon letters your way and makes you think. If your usual openers are failing, stop. Look at the letter frequency charts. Most people know which ones pop up in English, yet they forget.
Today’s answer has no repeats.
Two vowels sit in there. Quietly. It starts with A. Ends with N. Think about putting things in a row. Straightening out the chaos.
It’s ALIGN.
Simple? Yes. Did it trip you up? Maybe. Yesterday was WHARF. Before that a parade: NOBLY, MORPH, THUMB, MAFIA.
So what do you lead with? Stick to the heavy hitters. E, A, R. Skip the rare stuff like Z, J, Q unless you’re feeling reckless. Some go-to openers include ADIEU, TRAIN, CLOSE, STARE, NOISE. Pick one. Play again tomorrow.
No final lesson here. Just the game, the grid, the grind. 🎲
