- Stud
- Cuff
- Hoop
- Chandelier
- PLUG
- Clipon
- Teardrop
- Spanggram: Earrings
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
The chandelier was so Taly – went from the top all the way to the bottom of the grid – that I thought it would be yellow.
Instead, it was earrings, a tension that I needed to get as in my ignorance, I tapped on the troop and missed the letter T.
Stud was the first word I looked for, which, after getting it immediately exhausted my knowledge of the many types of ear decorations.
Like clip-on tapes and clip-on barts, there’s something comical about clip-on earrings. Almost because they are the type of thing you have put on as a child and wear while making the impression of your mother and her friends gossiping about the neighbors at a Tupperware party. No? Just me then!
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.
