My rating: EasyMy score: Perfect

This is about as easy as Strands get: I suspect a five-year-old knows most of this words and can probably spell half of them too. Bonus points for the NYT including SPORK as well as SPOON and FORK in order to make up the numbers; does anyone really use a SPORK? SKEWER is probably the only vaguely difficult word here, because it’s not something I’d expect to find in the company of the other UTENSILS here. Well, other than on a barbecue, but that’s a pretty rare thing round my way.
