📖 How I Solved It

I started tackling puzzle #677, and let me tell you, the clue 'A couple on Mount Olympus' had me scratching my head. I mean, I knew it was something iconic, but I couldn't connect the dots initially. I kept thinking of other mythological pairings. Then, when I finally got 'HERA' and 'ZEUS', everything clicked! I did stumble a bit on 'HERS,' though. I thought it might be 'HIM' for a while, which really threw me off. But once I got 'HENS,' the rest of the word ladder started to flow pretty well. The whole energy-efficient bulbs clue for 'LEDS' was a nice touch too—it felt like they threw that in just for me! Overall, once I got my bearings, it was a fun ride to the answer 'HERAZEUS.'
