New -threads today (game #581) – the answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #581, is …
- Lure
- Ploy
- TRICK
- Ruse
- DECEPTION
- Stratagem
- Spangram: ITSATRAP
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 tip
The first word I got today was to lure, so at this point I still thought that the words we were looking for were associated with fishing.
When I got fucked, it slowly dawned on me that “don’t take the bait” was about something else completely – I assume I really took the bait and fell for strict ‘deception.
My favorite word in today’s search is stratagem, used to describe a plan or plot, but especially one devised to outlit an opponent. It sounds like something that any international super villain needs before they can get a bank loan.
