___ TUESDAY
RECOGNITION
THANKS
This one is very much a Thanksgiving Day-themed category. There are a lot of different ways to give thanks, and many of those don’t actually happen on Thanksgiving. While fun, the holiday can sometimes be a hard time to exist, and sometimes a harder thing to be around family. That can make it very difficult to show RECOGNITION or give THANKS, despite that being the main part of the holiday.Take the CREDIT for making it this far, and attempt to enjoy the day regardless.
FAKE
QUACK
You do not want to face fraud charges, so you will want to avoid being a FAKE at all costs. However,navigating concerns on the holidays could cause people to FAKE itor become a QUACK just for the day to keep their family happy. However, it is likely that your CON will be found out eventually, and you do not want your family to think of you as a CHEAT. In this case, perhaps it’s better not to fake it ‘til you make it.

GOBBLE
SCARF
This one is also very Thanksgiving, and it feels like this puzzle is not set on being as difficult as it is themed.

SUPER
TACO

This is the main major stumbling block in today’s puzzle, but luckily,it does not prevent you from winning the game, at least on most days.
