The answers to today's Strands, game #132, are TORTOISESHELL TUXEDO TABBY BLACK CALICO ORANGE SPANGRAM: FURCOAT My rating: Easy My score: 1 hint
This Strands puzzle was supremely easy until right at the end, when it suddenly wasn't. The theme was, essentially, 'cat fur types', which is a good one for me given that I have shared a home with three cats to date. Or
rather, they've let me live with them, and given me the honor of feeding
them, in exchange mostly for a mild disdain on their part plus the occasional stroke if they're feeling charitable towards me.
Anyway, the clue gave the game away, and the likes of TABBY and TORTOISESHELL were very easy to find. All was going swimmingly until the end. I had two words left, but couldn't work out what either was and eventually used a hint. That gave me the letters O-C-C-A-L-I, and no matter what I tried I couldn't assemble them into a word. Eventually, through trial and error, I got CALICO, which maybe I should have known but didn't. That left one more so no need
for a hint. But again, I couldn't form a word from the letters A-R-N-O-G-E. After several minutes of torture I realized the answer was the obvious ORANGE and rather shamefacedly played it to complete the game.
