📖 How I Solved It
I tackled puzzle #671 today, and let me tell you, the combo clue had me scratching my head for a bit. The phrase 'muscle pain near the spine' threw me off, and I was second-guessing myself until I finally landed on 'sore back.' Before that, I had tried 'back pain,' but that didn't fit the word length. The word ladder was a fun challenge too! I got stuck when trying to figure out how to transition from 'SORT' to 'PORT.' It seemed like there should be an easier connection, but eventually, I found the right path. It felt great to finally complete it, even if I did trip up a couple of times along the way!
