This week, we’re tackling a clue that’s sure to have you scratching your head (perhaps even like a certain feline friend!). It involves a homophone for the word “lynx.”

And lastly, don’t be afraid to use a dictionary or online resources to check for possible homophones.
While this particular clue might be a bit of a brain teaser, with a little focus and some strategic thinking, you’ll be well on your way to solving it. Happy solving!
