The answers to today’s threads, game #420, is …
MASK
Earplugs
Melatonin
MEDITATION
Mouth protection
Spanggram: bedtime
My rating: Moderate
My score: 1 tip
My search started well after quickly getting mask and earplugs, but then took a dishonest turn.
Even after getting a tip and the many letters in melatonin, I struggled to connect the letters, which became the story of all the other words.
You can argue that the theme and excitement are inaccurate and what we were actually looking for today were sleep aids for those among us struggling to fall asleep without help.
I count among a growing demographic that desperately tries to improve their sleep quality. In fact, I was measured for my pillow, have an annual application just so I can listen to the same 10-minute meditation every night and have earplugs, mask and aromatherapy spray everything if I had to fight to reach the nod.
