Story extender

AND

Think of the tiny word that links two ideas together in a sentence.

"Story extender" hints at a word that adds length to a narrative, and "AND" fits because it’s a conjunction that connects ideas or events in a story. The clue plays on the literal meaning of "extending" while pointing to a common grammatical tool. Think of how "and" stretches a sentence by linking clauses—just like it stretches a tale.
