📖 How I Solved It
I really enjoyed solving puzzle #676, but I hit a snag with the word ladder. The clue for 'LOVES' had me stumped for a bit. I thought about it for a while, but I was stuck on trying to connect it to something like 'likes' instead of just focusing on the basic meaning. I ended up guessing 'HATES' first, which definitely didn't fit! Once I finally got that 'LOVES' was just about holding something dear, everything clicked into place. The combo clue for 'LINERNOTES' was a breeze after that, especially since I’ve seen plenty of album art before. Overall, it was a fun challenge!
