To pull a bit of an inverse on a recent thread, what are some of the easiest bonus puzzles we’ve seen on the show, win or lose? Ideally this is looking at the 3 consonants and a vowel era since pre-RSTLNE had a lot of easy puzzles with exclusively those letters.
Here’s a few of my candidates:
1/12/93: PET PEEVE
10/13/08: JEAN SHORTS
12/1/10: NO QUESTION ABOUT IT
12/13/11: LONG JOURNEY
11/29/12: EXPERT IN THE FIELD
5/29/17: OVERCOMING OBSTACLES
5/22/18: ORDERING APPETIZERS
12/17/21: LAUNDRY BASKET
2/7/22: VULTURES OVERHEAD

^ Incidentally, I couldn't figure out FRASIER. I saw the RAS part and got stuck on "rass" sounds. Sometimes getting caught on a wrong vowel sound can hinder you.
