Muchas horas

DIAS

Think of how we group long stretches of time that aren’t counted in minutes or months—this word marks their passing in Spanish.

"Muchas horas" hints at a long period of time, but instead of focusing on hours alone, the clue plays on the idea of accumulating them. In Spanish, when you have so many hours that they add up, you eventually get "días" (days), since days are made of hours. It’s a straightforward but clever way to nudge the solver toward the bigger unit of time. The answer "DIAS" fits because it’s the natural next step after counting hours.
