Today's Strands Analysis
This puzzle was even simpler than yesterday's Strands game! I swear, we haven't had a challenging one in quite a while, which is unfortunate. I enjoy this game but sometimes it's too easy, and the theme is too obvious. I found MITTENS immediately, then SCARF. I noticed WINTER next but attempted WINTERJACKET first, which revealed JACKET and then discovered WINTERCLOTHES for the spangram. GLOVES followed, then BEANIE and PARKA. I believe I solved this one in under a minute, no hints needed. Stay warm out there, folks!
