    The answers to today’s Strands, game #124, are…

    [li]TELL[/li][li]UTTER[/li][li]TALK[/li][li]SIGN[/li][li]SPEAK[/li][li]EXPRESS[/li][li]DECLARE[/li][li]SPANGRAM: ARTICULATION[/li][/ul]

    [li]My rating: Easy[/li][li]My score: Perfect[/li][/ul]



    This is a fairly easy Strands puzzle that simply involves finding words that mean ‘to articulate’. The theme clue went a long way to giving the game away, so once I discovered TELL I was up and running. The likes of TALK and UTTER were easy to uncover, too, and only the spangram really complicated matters, simply because it’s a long and complex word.
