The answers to today's Strands, game #754, are…

  • PERFECT
  • EXACT
  • FITTING
  • IDEAL
  • SEEMLY 
  • SUITABLE
  • SPANGRAM: TAILORMADE

  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Perfect

A neat game, although when I was connecting PERFECT I was sure it would actually become “perfection”. Oh well, you can’t have everything!

Next I zeroed in on the rare letter X for EXACT and noticed that FITTING smartly contoured around it.

Low on surprises then, but an oddly satisfying search.
