Today's puzzle invites you to consider the dual nature of namesâthose that are both first names and surnames of famous personalities. It's a delightful way to intertwine trivia with a splash of cultural insight!. It underlines how clues like (taylor) swift, (sheryl) crow, (peter) finch, and (florence) nightingale all funnel toward "Names" once you test the pattern aloud.
Start by pairing "(taylor) swift", "(sheryl) crow" with "Names" - the phrases read smoothly and anchor the first hypothesis. Notice how the tone and grammar stay consistent; that is usually the signal the connector is on the right track.
Next, pressure-test the idea against "(peter) finch", "(florence) nightingale". Reject options that require invented hyphenations or awkward tense shifts, and keep the candidates that sound like everyday language LinkedIn players expect.
Close the solve with "(tony) hawk". When those entries also embrace "Names", the board feels airtight and you can record the answer with confidence while noting decoys for tomorrow's attempt.
