Combo Clue

A compound word for places to have executive meetings

📖 How I Solved It

I had a fun time tackling puzzle #674! The Combo Clue about places to have executive meetings threw me off at first. I kept thinking about board games instead of BOARDROOMS, which didn't help. I didn't even consider some of the word ladder transitions until I stared at them long enough. I got stuck on 'BEARS' and guessed 'BEARS' as 'bears' like the animal instead of connecting it to the next word. I didn't realize how many different routes I could take. Eventually, once I figured out the flow from BOARD to ROOMS, everything just clicked, and I felt pretty accomplished when I reached the answer!
