The answers to today's Strands, game #128, are…

  • SCULPTURE
  • PAINTING
  • COLLAGE
  • LITHOGRAPH
  • MURAL
  • SPANGRAM: ARTMUSEUM

  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Perfect

Confession: I had never heard the term 'art museum' before today. It's possible that I'm an uneducated heathen who has no knowledge of the finer arts, but I suspect it's more a language barrier thing. I _think_ that the term art gallery is more widely used here in the UK – it's certainly what I'd use to describe the likes of the Tate in London. Or maybe I'm just an educated heathen.

Anyway, that confusion aside, I solved this without any real problems. The theme clue left little doubt as to what was needed, and as soon as I found SCULPTURE I was up and running and on the hunt for more. It was only the spangram – due to the aforementioned gallery/museum confusion - and LITHOGRAPH (because it's a long and complicated word) that delayed me completing it in record time.

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