It took me three words of the game before I finally understood the theme of today’s word game.
I blame the fact that I spent a year submitting my CV when I was out of work and erased all these titles from my head, along with the time I spent in LinkedIn hell. As an example: Given a four-word clue, I wrote “bad” instead of NAME.
Once I finally understood the task at hand, I made my way around the board. Frankly, it is not surprising that it took so long to “appeal to a power of contract.”
