If you are struggling to find the remedy for today’s puzzle, you will want to get the right clues for the job. Today’s puzzle I would classify as medium difficulty, as I was able to get it, but it took me a long time and a lot of guesses to do so.

This category is about a SOLUTION to the problem. However, I did get a wrong guess here, as ERASER and MAGIC WAND are also ways to “FIX” something. I got quite distracted by that right away, and I saw REMEDY and thought I had it.
