  • Don’t overlook longer words.

Why APARTMENTS Stumped Solvers

Even though the theme gave away hints of housing, most players concentrated on different house styles rather than the long spangram. The terms like LOFT and CONDO could easily be found, but finding APARTMENTS meant that you had to go through a difficult route in the puzzle grid.
