Clue of the Day
FYI, we don’t reveal the answer outright. You can hint at it if you want and it is okay to give possible wrong answers.
8-word Alert: Our comments show up on the homepage sidebar, so prefacing any hint with 8 non-hint words is the best practice.

I’ll say 1/3 today as well
I’ll predict 1/3 correct answers… and great observation, VJ!😃
Thanks, JJ. I’ve actually seen this before, using a few letters from the previous day in sequence. 🤣 It strikes me as a little word game the clue writers enjoy.
I notice it because it saves me typing. Today’s string was so long, I thought it was worth mentioning.
Hallelujah! The clue is back at its regular time.
I can see there’s more than one way to get this but there’s ways to go astray too so I’ll say ZERO right.
@jk, I considered that a hint, a close one though not necessarily a giveaway. I changed it anyway because it was showing up in the comment feed.
Verrrrrrrrrrry interesting, as Arte Johnson used to say on Laugh-In:
The last 6 letters of today’s answer are the same as yesterday’s 😲
Haha! I loved Laugh-In, and Arte was great!
The two names got me thinking of the right state and from there it was easy. I think 2/3 will get this one.
