Why this answer
The letters, categories, or grid logic that made this one tricky.
What made this one tricky:
- OLDEN: has 2 vowel slots.
OLDEN is an adjective with an unusual-looking opening: the O is followed by L, then D-E-N. Once O and E are fixed, avoid assuming the more common -ED ending; the final N is the key separator.

A useful solve path
