I said yesterday that we'd just had the easiest Strands game of the week, but Friday's game is even simpler – to the extent that I completed the entire thing in about one minute. Seriously. Will anyone struggle with this? I seriously doubt it. There are only so many letters in the Greek alphabet, after all: 24, to be exact. But lots are unlikely to be associated with a sorority, as per the theme clue.
KAPPA jumped out right away to me, and after that those double letters in GAMMA drew my eye. The likes of ALPHA, BETA and DELTA were all obvious, too. Was there any point in this? Not really – Strands needs to be a lot harder to make it out of beta status, I think.
How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
