Why this answer
The letters, categories, or grid logic that made this one tricky.
What made this one tricky:
- RUNNY: repeats N; ends in Y, a common late-solve trap.
RUNNY is built around a doubled N, a letter pattern that is easy to overlook after the opening R. Its two vowels sit apart, and the word's everyday meaning points to a texture that is more liquid than firm.

A useful solve path
Once an R-led pattern starts to take shape, test whether the middle consonant repeats. The doubled N is the most useful separator from several familiar five-letter R words.
