“Soooo …?”
Answer:
AND …
Hint:
Not available
Explanation:
This clue mimics how people drag out "so" in casual conversation to prompt someone to keep talking, like "Soooo … what happened next?" The answer "AND …" plays on the same idea—it’s the natural follow-up when someone pauses mid-story, urging them to continue. The ellipses in both clue and answer hint at that trailing, expectant tone. Think of it as filling in the blank for an awkward but familiar conversational pause.
