Crossclimb #651 Answer: SONGBIRD – February 9, 2026

Answer

SONGBIRD

SONG

PONG

“Classic Atari game that is an electronic version of table tennis”

POND

“A body of water typically smaller than a lake”

FOND

“Affectionate or loving, like some farewells”

FIND

““___ and replace” (feature to quickly locate and change text in a document)”

BIND

“Tie up tightly with rope”

BIRD

Combo Clue

“The top + bottom words = A compound word that describes a music-making animal like a canary, wren, or nightingale”

📖 How I Solved It

I started off feeling pretty confident with puzzle #651. The combo clue was straightforward – a music-making animal? I immediately thought of birds, but I couldn't pin down the exact word. The tricky part for me was definitely the transitions in the word ladder. I got stuck on trying to connect 'SONG' to 'BIRD'. I tried 'BORD' at one point and realized that wasn’t even a word! After a bit of head-scratching, I finally got it when I realized how 'SONG' could lead to 'PONG'. Once I had that, the rest of the ladder just fell into place. I was relieved to finally see 'SONGBIRD' pop up at the end. I guess sometimes it's just about trusting the process and letting the clues guide you, even when they’re a little confusing!

💡 Tips for This Puzzle

•Always revisit the combo clue if you feel stuck; it can spark new ideas.
•Don’t hesitate to take a step back if you're not connecting the dots.
•Try saying the words out loud; sometimes it helps to hear the right connections.
