The answers to today’s Strands, game #61, are…
[ul]
[li]JUNGLE[/li][li]PISTACHIO[/li][li]FOREST[/li][li]OLIVE[/li][li]ARTICHOKE[/li][li]EMERALD[/li][li]SPANGRAM: GREENS[/li][/ul]
[ul]
[li]My rating: Easy[/li][li]My score: Perfect[/li][/ul]
This was a nice straightforward Strands game to end the working week (for me at least). The theme clue gave the game away really – the combination of ‘shade’ and ‘envious’ immediately suggested ‘green’ to me, so I looked for that and found the spangram right away. With the board now divided in two, the permutations for each letter were reduced, and it was a simple job to find PISTACHIO and JUNGLE at the bottom, FOREST and EMERALD at the top.
OLIVE took me a while for some reason, and I don’t know if ARTICHOKE would even have occurred to me if the board hadn’t been so filled in by the time I got to it, but overall this was easy pickings.
