Solution explanation for the puzzle answer Comment 14 of 14 |
(In reply to Answer by K Sengupta)

We alter precisely one letter of each word and then adjoin the word "blue"  in the following manner:

spy -> sky -> sky blue
babe-> baby -> baby blue
tree -> true -> true blue
wavy -> navy -> navy blue
skate -> slate -> slate blue
loyal -> royal -> royal blue
steep -> steel -> steel blue
ponder -> powder -> powder blue

It is observed that each of the phrases denotes  a shade of blue except "true blue" which means:
real/genuine/extremely loyal.
