The answer to yesterday's puzzle is TRAGIC. SEMISWEET is the only common word with the letters ISW occurring consecutively. Can you find a common word where the letters AKO appear consecutively? Answer tomorrow!

The answer to yesterday's puzzle is "HORSE." What six-letter word can you find below, taking one letter from each square, in order?
