The answers to today’s Strands, game #224, are…
VESTSWEATERFLANNELFLEECECARDIGANSCARFSPANGRAM: FALLFASHION
My rating: EasyMy score: 1 hint
I needed the near-obligatory one hint to get started today, with the theme clue of ‘Time to get cozy’ not giving me quite enough info to be able to work out that the answers were all examples of FALLFASHION as the spangram would have it.
Once I had that, it wasn’t too bad, although my idea of fall fashion (autumn fashion where I am in the UK) is more t-shirt and hoodie than CARDIGAN, FLEECE or FLANNEL. But they were all relatively easy to find, and I doubt many people will struggle today.
How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
