The answers to today's Strands, game #54, are SHARP NATURAL CLEF FLAT SIGNATURE REST MEASURE SPANGRAM: NOTATION My rating: Very hard My score: Perfect
You might look at my verdict above and think there's an inconsistency; why am I describing it as 'very hard' when I got a perfect score? Well, you wouldn't wonder why if you'd seen me struggling to solve this one over a period of about an hour!
In my defence, the game was biased against me from the start. I've never learned a musical instrument, other than a few weeks playing recorder at school aged about six, until it was politely suggested to me that I might
want to try something different such as standing in a corner watching
everyone else. I am not musical.
To add to that, today's theme hint, 'Staff members', meant nothing to me. In the UK, we use the term 'stave' rather than 'staff', so Staff members simply had me thinking about maybe terms for workers of some kind.
I was completely and utterly stumped even once I'd found SHARP purely by chance. In fact, it was only when I stumbled upon CLEF and FLAT as well that
I realized what was needed here. The problem was that my knowledge was not strong enough to know what the other answers might be so I ended up solving
it all by brute force. Every single word. Not fun.
