Today’s Puzzle Hints

Welcome to "Today's Puzzle Hints" for Word City's October 20, 2025 edition! Avid puzzlers, today your detective skills will be put to the test with a mixture of letters that holds secrets to a compact yet challenging set of words. A good strategy is to start with the longest word—our 7-letter star of the day. Consider kitchen tools or maybe think of birds lightly touching the water as they glide. Once you've uncovered this word, you can simmer down the difficulty by looking for the 6-letter word that shares most of its letters.

Pay close attention to the interesting patterns that emerge with the most common letters in today's puzzle. The consonants 'S', 'M', and 'R' jostle for top billing, often joining forces with the vowel 'I' to open the gates to several word discoveries. Seek out combinations like 'SIM' or 'MIR' and expand upon them. Don't forget to check for words containing 'SK', as they might just skate past you if you're not careful! Remember, every compact word can be a stepping stone to piecing together the larger ones, so keep an eye on those 4-letter and 5-letter words too.

While you're strategizing, don't overlook the little guys; your 3-letter words can be especially helpful in cementing your progress and boosting your confidence. Remember, all the words interconnect in some way. Look for common prefixes like 'SM-' or suffixes such as '-ER'. With keen observation and a bit of patience, you'll unravel the puzzle in no time. Keep your spirits high, and enjoy the lexical adventure awaiting you in Word City!
