Turned to night
Answer:
GOTDARK
Hint:
Think of what happens when the sun sets and shadows take over, forming a single word that describes the transition.
Explanation:
"Turned to night" hints at something becoming dark, and "got" is a casual way to say "became." The answer plays on the phrase "got dark," which literally means the sky or surroundings turned dark, like at sunset. It’s a straightforward definition with a slight conversational twist—no hidden wordplay, just a natural way to describe nightfall.
