Tips for today’s chain puzzle
Today’s stock theme is: In the stitches.
If that doesn’t help, here’s a clue: handmade.
Clue words to unlock tips in the game
Your goal is to find hidden words that fit the puzzle topic. If you are stuck, find any words. Whenever you find three words with four letters or more letters, the chain reveals one of the topic words. These are the words I used to get these tips, but any word you find with four or more letters will work:
- cone, boring, boring, debt, paying, honing, more, red, line, wend, wend, dare, warn, dome, robe, heal, pale, pale, pale, chat, cap, cap, cap, thee, thee, thee heed, kerore norkor.
Answers to today’s chain puzzle
These are the answers that are linked to the topic. The purpose of the puzzle is to find all of this, including spangram, a topic word, from one side of the puzzle to the other. When you have all of this (I initially thought there were always eight, but learned that this number might be different), every letter on the board will be used. This is the non-cross-angle answer:
- DARN, weaving, tinkering, meat patties, patches, crochet, embroidery.
