The answers to today's Strands, game #277, are ANGEL GRIFFIN DRAGON STORK BUTTERFLY FAIRY SPANGRAM: WINGED THING My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

We all have our quirks, and one of mine is that I suffer from mild entomophobia (fear of flying insects), so I found todays Strands a tiny emphasis on the word tiny bit triggering. My first thought was that this was another air travel theme, and it took me a hint before I realized it was a different variety of wings we were looking for.

Its not entirely pleasing that the puzzle was made up of a mixture of both real and fantastical WINGED THINGs the DRAGON has little in common with a BUTTERFLY (imagine, if you will, Game of Thrones with butterflies instead of dragons; yeah, it doesn't really work, does it?).

Anyway let's not discuss wings any further or I might faint.
