The answers to today's Strands, game #43, are PEACE QUIET SMOKE MIRRORS GIVE TAKE TRIAL ERROR SPANGRAM: PARTNERS My rating: Moderate My score: Perfect

It took me ages to work out what the theme to today's Strands was, to the extent that even after I'd found every single answer, and the spangram, I didn't get it. Yes, this says more about me than about today's puzzle,
because it's really quite obvious once you spot it, and I'm sure most people today understood what was going on much sooner.

Still, it did depend to an extent on which words you found first; if, like
me, you identified PEACE, SMOKE, GIVE and TRIAL as the first four, you'll
have been struggling for any connection whatsoever. All of the words I found were instead examples of my simply looking at the letters and making words. Sometimes they turned up hint words, which I ignored. Eventually, I found all of the answers. It wasn't pretty, but it got the job done.

The answers to today's Strands, game #50, are KNIGHT MAGE BARD ROGUE SORCERER ASSASSIN HUNTER SPANGRAM: FANTASY My rating: Moderate My score: Perfect

That's more like it. After I really struggled to solve yesterday's Strands
and ended up needing two hints, I found this to be a lot more
straightforward. That said, you may well not have done because how easy it
was for you will have depended on your knowledge of the fantasy genre. Mine
is pretty strong, so once I found KNIGHT and then MAGE, both of which relatively obvious, I was able to knock them off one by one with no mishaps.

The answers to today's Strands, game #57, are PINK COMMON SEAL PRINCE
MEATLOAF JEWEL BRANDY SPANGRAM: MUSICIANS My rating: Difficult My score: Perfect

This was another fairly tough Strands puzzle, mainly because there are so
many options that it was hard to know what to look for. This is a theme among the more difficult editions of the game; look at a Strands puzzle such as the Headwear one and there are only so many possible answers, most of which
you'll be able to think of. But musicians? That's so vast as to be almost unmanageable. I mean where do you start?

I started with PINK, which I found entirely by accident. Coupled with the
clue of Name dropping I figured it might be celebrities or pop stars, rather than musicians exactly, but I couldn't find any other examples for ages.

The next answer I found was SEAL, again by accident, followed by COMMON. The latter was the one that made me realize it was probably a broader category of musicians that was needed, and I claimed the spangram not long after that. As if often the case that gave the board a little structure and I was able to eventually discover the other words after another long search. I'm not sure how much I enjoyed this game I think they work better when more closely focused. But maybe that's just me
