Hints

  • Verbs for asking someone for something—from a polite petition to a firm demand you expect answered.
  • Laundry-day verbs: what you do to a basket after the spin cycle, step by step on the folding table.
  • Things you often tear from a pad or keep in a wallet bundle—each type is commonly sold or stored in its own little bound booklet.
  • Prefix game: the same short daylight-themed opener completes four familiar compounds when you read each entry as a whole phrase.
