"Gotcha"

ISEE

Think of what you might say when you suddenly notice something unexpected, like spotting a friend in a crowd.

"Gotcha" is a casual way to say "I see" or "I understand," often used when someone realizes something. The answer "ISEE" plays on this by taking the phrase literally—it sounds like "I see" but is written as separate letters. This kind of clue relies on the solver recognizing the spoken phrase hidden in plain sight.
