Put your Best Foot Forward
What it means
Make the strongest impression you can manage, especially at the start of something.
Where it comes from
With only two feet it should strictly be your better foot, an objection grammarians raised for years and comprehensively lost. The phrase is at least four hundred years old.
The puzzle it came from
Put your Best Foot Forward was the answer to the Phrasicle of October 20, 2025. The clue read ____ your ____ ____ ____, and the words came out of a grid where every neighbouring pair makes a two-word phrase.
