AGENT, Noun. A person who acts on behalf of another. From Latin "agent-" (doing), present participle of "agere" (to do).
SONIC, Adjective. Relating to sound or sound waves. From Latin "sonus" (sound) + -ic suffix.
ALARM, Noun/Verb. A warning signal or device; to frighten or warn. From Italian "all'arme!" meaning "to arms!"
Difficulty Rating
Overall Difficulty: 3/5
Hardest Word: MURKY, Less common adjective that might not be in everyday vocabulary
Easiest Word: ALARM, Common emergency term most players will recognize quickly
Trap Factor: MEDIUM. Two words start with A, which could cause confusion in early guesses.
This puzzle presents moderate challenge with MURKY being the potential stumbling block. The other three words are reasonably common, but the dual A-starting words require careful letter placement.
