Why this answer
The letters, categories, or grid logic that made this one tricky.
What made this one tricky:
- LYMPH: opens with the LY consonant blend.
- TABOO: repeats O.
- ITCHY: ends in Y, a common late-solve trap.
- VIOLA: has 3 vowel slots.
- ABHOR: has 2 vowel slots.
Today's Hurdle chain is LYMPH, TABOO, ITCHY, VIOLA, and ABHOR. LYMPH is the sharp opener because it has no standard vowel and leans on Y. TABOO and ITCHY are clearer definition solves, while VIOLA shifts into music vocabulary. ABHOR finishes the set with a strong verb that can be easy to miss if the final board still has broad A-B patterns.

More from the desk
The useful path is to treat each board as its own definition check even though solved words carry forward. LYMPH gives unusual letter information early, but VIOLA and ABHOR need fresh vocabulary reads rather than one shared theme.
