My Thoughts on Today’s Puzzle

Today’s puzzle was a hard one for me. I started by searching for jobs that required an early morning start (spoiler: I couldn’t think of any). But then I stumbled upon “blossom” and “spring,” which led me to the spangram: SPRINGBLOSSOM. After finding the most obvious word, DAFFODIL, I hit a wall. My floral knowledge isn’t exactly extensive, so I had to use two hints to complete the puzzle. But hey, that’s part of the fun, right?
