Tavi
To be honest, I’m a bit stumped myself. This one is a real thinker!

Juni
Yip yip!
Tavi
That’s the spirit you two! Sharing your thoughts, even if they don’t always pan out, can help inspire new ideas from others!
Red Doglefox

Tavi

I even remember a few tips that might help us solve this. Like to look for repeated letters and try to guess vowels first!
