Stuck again. This one is nasty.
It leans on a single letter. Hard.
If your first guess bombed, don’t panic. You’re probably just avoiding the wrong letters. Look at the frequency charts. Lean on E, A, R. Ditch the Z, J, Q.
Don’t fight the odds. Let them work for you.
Here is where to start.
ADIEU
TRAIN
CLOSE
STARE
NOISE
Those are solid. But today? Today is weird.
Hints before the answer
Looking for help without the full spoiler. Okay. Here is how you narrow it down.
Hint one: repetition.
The letter repeats. Not twice. Three times.
Hint two: vowels.
Only one vowel type appears. And that’s the one repeating.
Hint three: the start.
Begins with E.
Hint four: the finish.
Ends with E.
Hint five: what is it?
It’s a job. Sort of. The person running the show. The MC.
Do you really need a dictionary for that?
The answer
EMCEE
That’s it. Yesterday was SCOOP (No. 1834). Before that?
- June 25: UNITY (1832)
- June 26: ACUTE (1833)
- June 23: CURRY (1830)
- June 24: QUEER (1831)
The word bank is random sometimes. Other times it feels curated. Today feels like a trap for people who don’t watch enough TV. Or maybe they do. And they’re just bad at spelling.
