What was most irritating is that I saw SASSY immediately and had to _look_ for SAVVY. Never even thought of SAGGY. Of course I clevered myself into a 5 instead of a 4. Bah!

Textbook application of this strategy, which was specifically designed with the longer traps in mind. In this case, light, night, right, sight and eight were all short-circuited.
