📖 How I Solved It

I really enjoyed working on puzzle #669, but I got stuck on the word ladder for a bit. The clue for 'PEACH' threw me off; I kept thinking of other fruit names instead. I almost put down 'PLUM' because I was fixated on the color aspect, but I quickly realized that wouldn’t fit! Once I finally got 'PEACH,' the rest started falling into place. Moving from 'PEACH' to 'PERCH' was straightforward, but then I hesitated at 'PORCH' since I wasn't sure if I was supposed to switch meanings. But hey, once I got to 'COUCH,' I felt like I was cruising! The combo answer 'TEACHCOACH' felt pretty intuitive after that. This puzzle was a nice mix of challenge and fun!
