It started innocently enough—like all habits do.

A friend texted me a link one morning with a message that simply said:

“Bet you can’t get today’s phrase in under six tries.”

Challenge accepted.

Ten minutes later, I was hunched over my phone, muttering letters under my breath, convinced that I was this close to solving it. Spoiler: I wasn’t. But by the time the phrase finally appeared (“let sleeping dogs lie”), I felt that rush—the kind of mini-victory that only word nerds and caffeine addicts can truly understand.

And that’s how it began: one small puzzle that turned into a daily ritual.
