My initial observations pointed me towards thinking about common names people give to their pets. I started to consider popular names like Max, Bella, and Charlie. However, these names didn’t fit with the length of the answer, which was seven letters. That’s when I had an insight. I realized that the term ‘pet name’ could also refer to a term of endearment, like ‘honey’ or ‘sweetie.’ And that’s when it hit me: “Sweetie” was the perfect answer. It’s a common term of endearment for someone you care about, whether they’re a pet or a person. In solving this mystery, I learned the importance of considering alternate meanings and remaining open to new possibilities.
