Monday's Down You Go is Too Easy - Try It With NO Clue

Today's Down You Go is pretty easy, so I tried something different.

I covered up the clue and played it like the original Hangman game.

It actually made the puzzle a lot more fun.

If you play today's puzzle, try solving it without looking at the clue first, then uncover it afterward to see how close you were.

I'd be interested to know which version you prefer: with the clue or without it?
