Today's Theme: A breath of fresh air


Strategy and Clues

To make progress in the game, you can use any valid words you find to activate the hint system. A helpful tip for today's grid: keep an eye on the bottom area, specifically the 6th column, to get a head start.


The Solution for Game #937

If you are looking to complete the board, the following words constitute the answer set for today's theme, which centers on various terms describing a GENTLEWIND:

  • BREEZE
  • ZEPHYR

Reflecting on the solution, the author noted:

«While BREEZE was straightforward, ZEPHYR proved more challenging, requiring the visual aid of the vertical letter alignment to solve. Previously, my only association with that word was a track by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, which made it sound more like a mystical vehicle than a meteorological term.»
