How to crack RTYIGT
Two T letters with G, R, I and Y. TRY and GRIT both live in the tiles and will eat time if you stop at either one. Keep the T pair together (the pretty / witty shape) and test GR in front with Y at the end: GR, IT, TY. DIRTY wants a D you do not have. GRITTY is the everyday adjective that parks both T letters in the middle and lets Y carry the final vowel sound.

What does GRITTY mean?
GRITTY (adjective): full of grit or sand; also tough, determined, or unpolished in style. Example: “The coastal wind left a gritty film on every window.”
Similar: sandy, rough, tough, raw. Opposite: smooth, polished, soft.
Did you know? Film critics call a movie "gritty" when it feels raw and unvarnished, a figurative leap from the literal sand-in-the-teeth sense.
Using GRITTY in a sentence
Gritty first means sand or grit in the thing itself: spinach that still has grit, a sidewalk after a storm, dust on a dashboard. From there it stretches to tough and determined ("a gritty performance") or raw and unpolished ("a gritty crime drama"). Grit is the noun behind both the courage sense and the particle sense; grittiness shows up more than the adverb grittily. Gritty realism, gritty determination, gritty texture and true grit are what critics and coaches reach for. Smooth and polished push back on both feel and style; soft is enough when you only mean texture.
How GRITTY fits the puzzle
GRITTY circles I, the first T, and Y. I and T help build RISE, and Y is the letter that finishes EARLY, so this word closes both halves of the punchline bank.
Its circled letters feed the caption answer, EARLY TO RISE.
