Unlock the mystery of Glinda’s promise to Dorothy about her furry friend

As a detective, my first step was to carefully analyze every word in the crossword clue, trying to identify any patterns or potential clues hidden within. I quickly recognized the name ‘Glinda’, which instantly led me to think of the classic movie ‘The Wizard of Oz’. This connection gave me a sense of direction and helped me hone in on the particular moment in the movie where Dorothy is trying to leave Oz and return home to Kansas.

Next, I noticed the word ‘reassurance’ in the clue, which suggested to me that Glinda was trying to comfort or encourage Dorothy in some way. I thought about what Glinda might say to make Dorothy feel more confident about her plans to return home, and the phrase ‘totally, Toto too‘ came to mind. ‘Toto‘, of course, is Dorothy’s beloved dog who accompanies her on her adventures in Oz, and adding ‘too’ at the end of ‘totally‘ not only rhymes but also emphasizes the idea that Toto is a key part of Dorothy’s journey and deserves to return home with her.

After carefully considering all the elements of the clue and using my knowledge of pop culture and language, I arrived at the answer ‘TOTOTOO‘. The process of solving this crossword clue was a fascinating challenge, but it was incredibly satisfying to use my creativity and analytical skills to unravel this mystery and arrive at the correct answer.
