The answers to today's Strands, game #198, are SPRING TRAMPOLINE ECHO BASKETBALL KANGAROO SPANGRAM: LETSBOUNCE My rating: Moderate My score: 1 hint
I have only one problem with today's Strands and that's the spangram. Unless LETSBOUNCE is an Americanism that I'm not familiar with, I don't get why that's the answer, rather than just BOUNCE on its own.
That really tripped me up today; the combination of theme clue and uncovering SPRING by accident led me to the general concept, and I was able to find TRAMPOLINE, ECHO and BASKETBALL without too much trouble. But I couldn't make two more words out of the remaining letters. I could see BOUNCE was there,
but it didn't turn blue (or yellow), and I couldn't work out what word could go before (or after) it. Eventually I used a hint, which gave me KANGAROO, at which point the spangram revealed itself.
