“You can’t win ___”
Answer:
‘EM ALL
Hint:
Not available
Explanation:
This clue plays on a well-known motivational phrase, "You can’t win ’em all," meaning you can’t succeed at everything. The blank in the clue hints at the missing part of that saying, which is the contraction "’em" (short for "them") followed by "all." The answer is written with an apostrophe at the start to match how the phrase is commonly spoken and written.
