Clue three: scuff on the post; feather on the bar; wet print; shy sheep watching.
Adventure Cap wanted a chase. Thinking Cap habit said gather, then guess once.
Tools reminded: look for marks, compare, check. Tools did not fix alone.
Suzy gathered all six clues into one answer — finish the latch — then clicked true and checked once.
They thanked the yard with a quiet check, not a lecture.
