The theme for today's edition, game #958, is: «Quite the crush».
If you find yourself stuck, remember that you can submit any valid words you find on the board to unlock the game's built-in hint system, which helps guide you toward the intended terms.
My Experience and Solution
Admittedly, even after identifying that the theme revolved around the awkward, fluttering feelings of a new infatuation, I initially found it difficult to isolate the correct words on the board. My progress was somewhat erratic; for instance, I managed to uncover «plush» and «lush», but it wasn't until I utilized a hint that «BLUSH» became clear to me.
Although I wasn't at the top of my game today, I eventually managed to «STUMBLE» through the remaining letters and complete the puzzle without requiring further assistance.
