The answers to today's Strands, game #151, are SALT MARACA RATTLE HAIRSPRAY MARTINI BOOTY HANDS SPANGRAM: SHAKEN My rating: Easy My score: 1 hint

I'm annoyed at myself today. Very annoyed. No, I didn't fail but I needed
one of the NYT's in-game hints when really I could and should have solved it without. The theme clue was really obvious, and as soon as I saw 'Not
stirred' I thought 'shaken'! But for some reason it didn't occur to me that the answer might be quite so simple as that, so I didn't even look for the word SHAKEN, which was the spangram. If I had, I wouldn't have needed the
hint to set me on my way, because all of the answers were pretty easy. Silly silly silly.

The answers to today's Strands, game #158, are MUSIC FLOATS SUNSCREEN DRINKS NOODLES TOWELS SPANGRAM: POOLPARTY My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

I'd rather spend time at the beach/sea than around a pool, and that might be why I've never been to a POOLPARTY. Or it could be because I don't live in a nice, sunny place like California or Florida. Either way, I was thoroughly confused by this Strands puzzle for about two minutes at the start, after finding MUSIC first. 'Splashy event' and MUSIC? What could the connection be? But then I uncovered FLOATS, too, and had that lightbulb moment where it was obvious what the theme was. The spangram followed, then the remaining answers in fairly short order for another easyish game.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Today's Strands is a relatively easy one, in my experience, but I've compiled some hints for you below anyway, just in case.

The answers to today's Strands, game #165, are COMIC FOOL CLOWN JESTER PRANKSTER BUFFOON SPANGRAM: YOUREKIDDING My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

If I didn't write this column each day I wouldn't always need to find hint words in Strands. And today was one of those days. While scanning the board for words I could include in my hints, I accidentally uncovered COMIC, FOOL and CLOWN, meaning I was halfway through the game before I should even have started. It was that simple!

The spangram was the hardest thing about it, actually; I was convinced it would include JOKE or JOKER in some way, but the J went into JESTER instead and the spangram was the less obvious YOUREKIDDING. But I doubt people will struggle today even with that in mind the words are all just too obvious.

The answers to today's Strands, game #172, are CHOP STIR WHIP PULSE LIQUEFY GRIND PUREE SPANGRAM: BLENDERSETTING My rating: Moderate My score: 3 hints

Who knew a blender could do so much? I struggled to find all of the answers here, and needed three hints to help me complete it. That said, it's not the most coherent Strands puzzle ever, to my mind. The spangram BLENDERSETTING just about works though it would be better if it were plural, given there
are lots of settings here but the theme clue of 'Smoothie moves' is
something of a red herring, given that these are not all things you'd do to a smoothie. Or at least I don't think so I'm not a smoothie expert, but WHIP? I'm not so sure.

Anyway, I needed three hints to really get going here, and when it came to finding the spangram was confused by BLENDER being available in two positions on the board. On the plus side, I now really want to make a smoothie

The answers to today's Strands, game #179, are LATTE MOCHA ESPRESSO
CAPPUCCINO BLACK ICED SPANGRAM: COFFEEORDER My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

I am not a coffee drinker, but even I know enough about the ubiquitous drink to be able to solve today's Strands in short order. The theme clue helped, as did the fact that LATTE stood out along one side of the board. With those two clues in my armory, I was clear on what I needed to do here and found the answers easily. Well, almost. Once again, the spangram proved a bit more obscure. COFFEEORDER? Really? It's not exactly a common phrase, is it? But anyway, I found that too and solved this Strands in a couple of minutes.
