The answers to today's Strands, game #515, are SPONGE LAVA BUNDT FRUIT POUND CHEESE FUNNEL SPANGRAM: PIECE OF CAKE My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

In the early days of the internet my favorite website was a collection of user-submitted half-baked ideas. The kind of things that seem reasonable when you first think of them but then fall apart upon further inspection.

The one I remember was filling speed bumps with custard in order to still
act as a deterent, but also protect the suspension of vehicles. Me and my useless car would love that.

Anyway, I digress we werent looking for half-baked ideas but half-baked
cakes today. Not that Id previously considered that a cake is half-baked.

I wouldnt say this search was a PIECE OF CAKE, but it was pretty close. BUNDT was a new one on me and something that kept me occupied for a while and
FUNNEL is something I thought you found on a ferry rather than in an oven. Yesterday's NYT Strands answers (Wednesday, July 30, game #514) LIFE VOTE SPEECH LIBERTY ASSEMBLY COUNSEL SPANGRAM: CONSTITUTION What is NYT Strands?
