Today’s Challenge: Seeing Double

Need a Hint?
Here’s the big hint for the day’s Spangram (a tricky word scramble) – think about the smallest part of writing that holds meaning. What do you think it is? If you’re still stuck, don’t worry! Here are a couple of hints for you:
- Hint #1: It’s a bird you can hear during nighttime in North America. The name starts with a “W” and ends with an “L.”
- Hint #2: This describes a small group of people that represent a larger group. It starts with “C” and ends with “E.”
These hints should help you get on the right track! Remember, it’s all about using your brain to solve puzzles.
Spangram Position
Today’s Spangram is mostly HORIZONTAL, which means the letters are lined up from left to right across the grid. Here’s where to start looking:

See if you can figure it out from there!
