You know when you get a word in the first second you are ready to run easily and that was the case for me today after getting COMB the moment I looked at the board.
That’s not to say I haven’t encountered a few bumps in the road.
To begin with, I could see that the spangram started with INTHE but it took me a while to complete INTHEMIRROR. Then I got hung up on the fact that “beauty” kept coming up as a non-playful word, not initially realizing we were looking for BEAUTIFY.
