Today’s CG really stumped me. I even tried HAL, and couldn’t crack it.
I came back to it, without HAL, and she opened up pretty fast when I went with my instincts.
The only clue I’ll give you is, what you think is the word “THE” is, and “UOM” (the suffix of two words), is what you think it is.

Day late and a dollar short???? <: <: <:
Got a ‘kick’ when ‘sure’ vowels eliminated themselves.
Sorta ‘late’ this AM, though maybe you were following the ‘guidelines’ of no gathering of 10 people.....HMMMM
Thanks for your efforts on these daily ‘tasks’...
I was able to get this one OK. However like you sometimes when I am stumped I have to put the puzzle aside for a couple of hours and then come back to it. That works every time. However once in a blue moon I may have to put the puzzle aside for a 2nd time.
Took me awhile to get going on it. PEV and FEV ended up being the key for me.
The 13th word and double letters got me going.
3-4 minutes today.
