Approve

The crossword clue ‘Approve’ was challenging to decipher at first, as there were quite a few possibilities to consider. To start, I considered popular synonyms for ‘Approve’, such as ‘Agree’, ‘Support’, and ‘Endorse’. I looked at the number of letters in the answer and realized there were only five, which immediately ruled out ‘Endorse’. Then, I focused on words within the clue that could lead me to the answer. I noticed the word ‘Say’, and it clicked – ‘Sayok’ is the word I was searching for. This word means ‘Approval’ in Filipino, and it was an enlightening moment, as it was a new word to me. The key takeaway from this experience is that every clue can hold hidden meanings, and even small details like the word ‘Say’ can lead to significant revelations. Now that I have found the answer to this crossword, I am even more eager to tackle the next challenge!
