The answers to today's Strands, game #95, are…

  • GLASS
  • STONE
  • DRIFTWOOD
  • BOTTLE
  • SHELL
  • FOSSIL
  • SPANGRAM: BEACHCOMBING

  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Mega-perfect

This may well be the easiest Strands puzzle of the week – to the extent that I scored a 'mega-perfect', the term I've coined for when you solve Strands without even uncovering a single hint word, let alone using any of them. 

Partly that was because the theme clue, 'Tidal treasures', didn't leave much room for ambiguity, a fact that was made all the more stark when I immediately claimed GLASS and it turned blue. GLASS led directly to STONE and I was on my way. DRIFTWOOD, BOTTLE, SHELL and FOSSIL all followed with a minimum of fuss, and somewhere along the way I got the spangram, too.

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
