The first word you see is your Monday mood

This grid hides sixteen honest Monday moods, including SNOOZE, INBOX, ZOMBIE, and MOTIVATED. Take a look, find your first word, and share it with the coworkers who will completely understand. No judgment either way.

All 16 words and what they mean

Spoilers ahead. Find your word in the grid first, then look it up here.

  • BRUNCHYour heart is still at Sunday's table, somewhere between the pancakes and the refill.
  • CHAOSThree tabs of trouble before nine in the morning, and somehow you are thriving in it.
  • COFFEEYou are not available for questions until the second cup. After that, you are unstoppable.
  • DEADLINESomething is due and you know it. Today you are focused, fast, and a little dramatic.
  • ENERGIZEDYou slept eight hours, stretched, and ate breakfast. Please share your secrets with the rest of us.
  • GROGGYYour body is at work but your brain is still under the covers. It will catch up by ten.
  • INBOXYour morning is forty-seven unread messages and one deep breath. You will get through them.
  • MEETINGSYour calendar looks like a game of Tetris today. Bring water and a snack.
  • MOTIVATEDYou woke up with a plan and the energy to match. Use it before it wears off.
  • PAJAMASYou are working from home in spirit, even if you had to put on real pants today.
  • PLAYLISTHeadphones on, volume up. You are getting through today one good song at a time.
  • READYBag packed last night, lunch made, list written. Monday never stood a chance.
  • SLEEPYThe weekend was worth it, and you are paying for it now with long, slow blinks.
  • SNOOZEYou negotiated with your alarm four times this morning and lost every round.
  • SUNSHINEYou are oddly cheerful for a Monday and your coworkers are a little suspicious.
  • ZOMBIEYou are upright and moving, and that is enough. Speech will return after lunch.

How to use this puzzle
