    The answers to today’s Strands, game #153, are…

    [ul]
    [li]BAROQUE[/li][li]MODERN[/li][li]ROMANTIC[/li][li]CLASSICAL[/li][li]MEDIEVAL[/li][li]SPANGRAM: ARTHISTORY[/li][/ul]


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



    I solved this one in rather a roundabout way, getting the spangram first then finding the individual answers, but if not I might well have struggled. The theme clue of ‘A night at the museum’ didn’t suggest ARTHISTORY or the likes of ROMANTIC and BAROQUE to me; I was thinking dinosaurs and romans and mummies and so on…

    Still, with ARTHISTORY in place it became obvious what kind of words I needed to find, and I ticked them all off with a minimum of fuss from there.

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