📖 How I Solved It
I tackled puzzle #681 and let me tell you, it was a bit of a ride! The clue for the combo answer, 'A two-word phrase for a list of support options in a piece of software, possibly symbolized by a question mark,' had me scratching my head for a while. I was convinced it had to be something techy like 'Help Page', but that didn't fit the letter count. There were some wrong guesses along the way—'Help Center' almost made the cut until it didn't match the letters. Once I finally settled on 'HELPMENU', everything clicked into place. The word ladder was pretty smooth sailing, but I got stuck between 'MEND' and 'BEND' for a hot minute. I couldn't remember which was which! In the end, I felt a sense of satisfaction finishing it up. Who knew puzzles could be this much fun?
