--explanation--

That should work. is a common way to agree with a suggestion. It means the idea sounds acceptable or possible, even if it's not 100% confirmed. For example:

  • Person 1: Can we meet at 3 PM tomorrow? - This person is suggesting a time to meet on the following day.

  • Person 2: That should work. - This means the time is likely okay for them to meet.
