Why this answer
What the word means, where the trap was, and how the solve unfolds.
Friday, September 25, 2026 Hurdle runs PARKA, ENACT, BRAVE, ANGRY, then HONEY as the final hurdle.
PARKA is the coat. ENACT is the legal verb. BRAVE is the courage adjective. ANGRY is the mood. HONEY is the last word — the golden one — and it is the only answer that has to satisfy leftover greens and yellows from the first four.
PARKA’s double A and ANGRY’s A-Y ending both paint tiles that can mislead you toward HAPPY or HARPY before HONEY clicks.

Solve notes
The opener that would have found it, and what to carry into tomorrow.
Which answer is the final hurdle
HONEY is the fifth and final word. The first four are shown on that last board as locked guesses, so a green H or Y from nowhere else still has to be earned.
If the last board looks like a mood word or a coat fabric, ignore that. The final hurdle is the bee-made sweet.
