I open with BRINK today and get a yellow N and a green K. Getting the last letter helps, but it's also very weird to be trying to think about the answer backwards. The N is also complicating matters for me since the first place I'm going mentally are words the end in LK, like stalk, chalk, and caulk. But those won't work because I have to fit an N in there somewhere.
I am really struggling on this one. I can't think of anything. I start thinking about words that ends with CK and get nowhere because I don't know what to do with that N. Crack, stack, track are all useless to me. I start wondering if there is a double N in the word somewhere. I am totally lost. I type in a few nonsense words just to try to get something clarified for me here. Looking around for anything to help. Then I stop thinking about the puzzle for a moment or two. I come back and think about SLINK as a possibility, I know it'll be wrong, but it'll get the ball moving again. I wait for a moment start moving the N around in the word. NISCK? SNICK? Hmm, maybe if I change the vowel. Oh yes, it's SNACK. I get a solve in two to finish the week and am feeling pretty good as my streak extends to 30.
P.S. I'm also feeling good because I hit Genuis on Spelling Bee yesterday. It was good because I had hit a bit of a rough patch with Spelling Bee, getting a few games in the last two weeks were I got stuck at Amazing-level. So it was good to get genius for a change. I was also four words away from hitting a Queen Bee, but oh well.
