    The answers to today's Strands, game #120, are GONG DRUM TRIANGLE RATTLE CYMBAL TAMBOURINE SPANGRAM: PERCUSSION My rating: Easy My score: 1 hint

    Is this really easy? I made one mistake, but with hindsight I feel like I shouldn't have done, and that I was merely too impatient. Here's what happened: I looked at the theme clue and immediately thought 'Oh, it'll be something to do with drumming'. So I looked for a few SNARE? No. TOMTOM? No. BASS? No. KICK? No. The problem was, I thinking drums, not percussion. So I used my hint, got GONG, realized my mistake then knocked the others off one
    by one without any major issues.

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

    Today's Strands was a rather frustrating one for me, and maybe for you too.

    The answers to today's Strands, game #134, are DUKE RICE TUFTS NORTHWESTERN BROWN TEMPLE SPANGRAM: UNIVERSITIES My rating: Hard My score: 4 hints

    This was one of those Strands puzzles made much harder for me by accident of my birth outside of the United States. As I've mentioned before, I live in
    the UK, and with all due respect to the attendees, past and present, of
    TUFTS, RICE and TEMPLE, I'm not an expert in US universities. It's easier in the UK; think of a town or city and you've most likely named a university
    too, which seemingly isn't the case in the States.

    The upshot of that is that I needed multiple hints to solve today's game. I managed to find the spangram, UNIVERSITIES, on my own, plus NORTHWESTERN and BROWN, but that was it. Frustrating.
