But what happens when you encounter a word that feels like a puzzle within a puzzle? This week, I’m tackling a clue that’s sending me down a rabbit hole: “Task Recipient.”

Now, this clue isn’t exactly a direct definition. It’s more like a hint, a whispered suggestion about someone who receives a task. And while it seems simple enough, the possibilities are endless.

The answers to these questions will help us narrow down the possibilities.
