The word that the adverb clause "because we wanted a fun challenge" modifies is:

Worked.

  • An adverb clause is a group of words that has a subject and a predicate. It begins with a subordinating conjunction, and it modifies an adjective, a verb, or another adverb.
  • Adverb clauses can be used to indicate the cause for something to happen. In that case, they begin with the conjunction "because".
  • With that in mind, we can identify the adverb clause in the sentence as: "because we wanted a fun challenge."
  • The adverb clause above modifies the verb "worked", providing the cause, that is, an explanation as to why the family "worked" on the puzzle.
