    The answers to today's Strands, game #40, are POMPOM MURMUR GOGO MAMA TUTU COUSCOUS CANCAN SPANGRAM: REPETITION My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

    This might be the easiest game of Strands yet, or at least that was my experience. This one's all about finding the first word, at which point the theme should become clear. And from there, you're on easy street.

    Why? Well, each answer is simply one word, or a couple of letters, repeated twice. For instance, POMPOM, MAMA and MURMUR. The only vaguely difficult one was COUSCOUS, mainly because I couldn't spell it correctly at first. The spangram was easy, too. Let's hope the weekend is a little harder, yes?

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

    The working week ends here, for some people at least but you're not allowed to down tools and start relaxing until you've solved today's Strands puzzle. OK, that's not an official requirement no, I don't have the power to compel people to play but it'll get your brain working ahead of that last day of work.

    The answers to today's Strands, game #47, are MUSIC NEWS WEATHER SPORTS TRAFFIC COMEDY TALK SPANGRAM: DRIVETIME My rating: Hard My score: Perfect

    I've marked this one as hard, because I really, really struggled to find a couple of answers, including the spangram. The theme hint Go to work! is fairly obtuse, and the first couple of answers I turned up (MUSIC, NEWS) didn't take me much further.

    I could see it was something to do with the media, but nothing more. It was only when I uncovered WEATHER and SPORTS that I started getting a clearer idea. But there my game stalled.

    I returned to it after a break and with fresh eyes spotted DRIVETIME, reading 'backwards' from the bottom up. Even with that in place it still took me a while to spot COMEDY, which I would never have considered to be a part of the drivetime menu. Still, I got there in the end.

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

    It's time to tackle another of the NYT's Strands puzzles. The aim here is to uncover a series of words hidden within a grid of letters and united by a single theme.

    It's easy to pick up, often difficult to solve and a great addition to your daily routine if you already play the likes of Wordle and Connections. So
    read on for a few helpful hints and my commentary on today's Strands puzzle.

    Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM. NYT Strands today (game #54) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times)

    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.
