The answers to today’s Strands, game #125, are…
[ul]
[li]GNOME[/li][li]PLANTER[/li][li]BIRDBATH[/li][li]WINDSOCK[/li][li]FLAMINGO[/li][li]SPANGRAM: LAWNORNAMENT[/li][/ul]
[ul]
[li]My rating: Moderate[/li][li]My score: 1 hint[/li][/ul]
It took me a while to get started today, and I eventually needed to use a hint for the first answer. Then, when that word was revealed, it still took me ages to work out what it actually was, because I couldn’t assemble the letters properly! That word was GNOME, which in my defence is spelled oddly, and once I had it this game became a lot easier.
