Woof, this one was very hard for me! But very fun as always :))))

When I saw the theme my first thought was “The Fingersmith” and then somehow it took me a while to find “Tipping”. Waters definitely has a niche…

I was thinking of the wrong Dickens but once I figured out that it wasn’t referring to the creator of Foolish Child, I got it. Thanks for the little dopamine shot on a gray, blustery morning.

My brain still has trouble coming up with words that aren’t exactly five letters. But once I got the first word the clue did the rest!

Someone else once said starting with the short word is a mistake. I should’ve listened.
