Glistened

Answer:

SHONE

Hint:

["Think of a word that means \"emitted light.\""]

Explanation:

"Glistened" is a verb meaning to sparkle or shine with reflected light, and "shone" is the past tense of "shine," which fits perfectly as a synonym. The clue plays on the idea of something emitting light or having a bright appearance, so the answer captures that same meaning in a more concise form. It’s a straightforward definition clue with no hidden wordplay—just a direct match between the two words.
