Why this answer
The letters, categories, or grid logic that made this one tricky.
What made this one tricky:
- ENTRY: ends in Y, a common late-solve trap.
- CRISP: opens with the CR consonant blend.
- SPLAT: opens with the SP consonant blend.
- FOUND: has 2 vowel slots.
- TIARA: repeats A.
Hurdle #1640 moves from ENTRY to CRISP to SPLAT to FOUND before the final answer TIARA. The chain does not rely on one shared theme, so each round rewards reading the clue directly while carrying forward the letters earned from the previous answer.
