The answers to today's Strands, game #79, are FAVORITES WINDOW HELP TOOLS
FILE HISTORY EDIT SPANGRAM: MENUITEMS My rating: Moderate My score: Perfect

I quite liked this one. I was initially a little baffled by it, finding FAVORITES by accident and struggling to link it to the theme clue of 'At the bar'. That confusion only grew when I followed it up with WINDOW and HELP.
Was this something about going to a bar? You can have a favorite bar, or a favorite drink. You can have a window seat. The staff can be called 'help', maybe. It sort of fit.

It was only when I uncovered TOOLS that I realized what was going on. After that it was just a case of staring at my laptop screen and hunting for options. The remainder followed soon after.

The answers to today's Strands, game #86, are CLUCK TWEET CHIRP WARBLE TRILL SCREECH WHISTLE SPANGRAM: BIRDSONG My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

This is probably the easiest Strands puzzle we've had for a week or more. The theme clue was reasonably obvious though I did initially wonder if it might be a reference to social media platforms, or online discourse. However, CLUCK was the very first word I found, and that immediately confirmed my stronger hunch that what I needed was words for the sounds that birds make.

None of the other answers were particularly hard to find, with the likes of TWEET and CHIRP standing out quickly. The task got easier still once I uncovered the spangram and gave the board some structure, and I solved it all with a minimum of fuss.
