Fair or foul, having a puzzle where the answer is not technically correct when written, but it’s fine when spoken? Take a pile of junk, add an S at the start, and you get a wooly creature. HEAP / SHEEP. While SHEAP is not a word, it works when spoken aloud.
Whether fair or not, this is the kind of puzzle facing you this week. See below!
Figured it out? It’s a little better than the one I used as my example, but it still might induce a few groans. On a side note, I can think of two similar answers that both work here, so I’m looking for the first valid answer this week.
I also want to give credit to last week’s solvers. Danielle C. was the first to respond with the answer I was looking for, but Scott S. came up with an interesting alternative. See their answers here.
Good luck on puzzle #40!
