Why this answer
What the word means, where the trap was, and how the solve unfolds.
The answers are ZEBRA, LEGAL, RATIO and TROLL. Two of them double a letter, LEGAL and TROLL both carry a pair of Ls, and that is where guesses go missing: REGAL fits the same -EGAL frame as LEGAL, and DROLL fits -ROLL alongside TROLL. ZEBRA hides the set’s only Z, a letter few openers test, while RATIO is vowel-heavy, with A, I and O in the last four squares.

Solve notes
The opener that would have found it, and what to carry into tomorrow.
Solving all four boards
A and R are the letters to chase early: A sits in three answers and R in three, so an opener carrying both lights up most of the set. Treat the double-L boards with care. Once you see a yellow L and a green L on the same board, expect a second L rather than a new letter. Leave ZEBRA for last if the Z will not show, because Z-E-B-R-A only resolves once the other four letters are placed, and keep RATIO’s O in mind for any grid that ends in a vowel.
