📖 How I Solved It

I was pretty excited to tackle puzzle #644, but the combo clue threw me for a loop initially. I mean, 'A two-word phrase for investments that keep producing income all the time'? I kept thinking about stocks and dividends, and didn’t connect it to the farm animals until my brain clicked. Before I got it right, I guessed 'cash cows' and then second-guessed myself, thinking maybe it was 'cash crops' or something completely off. The word ladder was a fun ride, though! I got stuck on 'CAST' and 'CART' for a bit, but once I figured those out, the rest flowed pretty smoothly. All in all, it was a solid puzzle that kept me on my toes.
