I feel like this was the toughest one so far.

Strands #6
FRAGILE: handle with care



I got the spanagram right away, but the last two words took so long.

Heart and silence in the lower left corner. I really wanted "trail" to be one of the words and was disappointed when it was rejected

Didn't even know where to start with this one.

I thought the spangram was going to be related to shipping or packaging or something. After scanning for way, way too long I finally got my first word "sweat" which only raised further questions. After I got bread, then it finally clicked.

I think that's going to be key for this game. On previous days I was fixating on some Y's in the corners.

But I still need to get good at scanning for words in all 8 directions.

This one actually took me a very long time. Kept thinking it was music related, but was thinking of genres. Must have found 15 or so non theme words lol. Once I found Trumpet though, it clicked and I found everything else within a few seconds

Oh my God I forgot about plural words I had tried the yellow dot word earlier on but without the s at the end

it got me pretty confused for real.

On my first pass, I thought "hmm there's no al at the end, so it can't be instrumental. Let's look somewhere else."

Strands #8
To put it mildly



I liked this one. It took me awhile to figure out the spangram because I never realized that jeepers and gadzooks were euphemisms for anything, but I guess they are probably used in place of "Jesus!" and "Goddamn!"

This one was tough for me. I figured out the theme pretty quickly, but I had no idea what the actual spangram would be. Then a clusterfuck of consonants in that bottom right corner just hid what the words were.
