The answers to today's Strands, game #186, are POTATO TURNIP BEET TARO RUTABAGA JICAMA SPANGRAM: ROOTVEGETABLES My rating: Difficult My score: 1
hint

I love root vegetables, but I will confess that I have never heard of JICAMA, have only vaguely heard of TARO, know RUTABAGA by its more common (outside of North America) name of swede and know BEET by its more common (in the UK at least) name of BEETROOT. In summary I found this one to be pretty tough!

JICAMA was the only one I actually needed a hint for, because the combination of the theme clue and my stumbling upon POTATO by accident was enough for me to get started. TURNIP was an obvious one, and I know enough about BEETs
thank to the US Office (thanks, Dwight!) to guess that one.

I then got the spangram, which gave me TARO by default (and with a little trial and error). That just left JICAMA and RUTABAGA; I used a hint, which gave me JICAMA, and solved that after trying multiple combinations of letters until one proved to be correct. RUTABAGA needed a similar approach; swede would have been much easier, frankly

The answers to today's Strands, game #193, are LANE STREET ROAD AVENUE
HIGHWAY BOULEVARD SPANGRAM: THOROUGHFARE My rating: Moderate My score: 3
hints

I can't work out whether today's Strands is difficult or not. I found it
tough but that might just be me. After all, the concept names for THOROUGHFAREs, as the spangram would have it is simple, but on the flip side the spangram itself is really difficult. I mean, when was the last time you used that word to refer to a STREET or ROAD or LANE?

Beyond that, I just couldn't think of any roads beyond the three obvious ones mentioned above. BOULEVARD is not a common term in the UK, where I am, and HIGHWAY is very rarely used here so that didn't help. But I should have
found AVENUE, and ultimately I think this was more about my failings than the puzzle's absolute difficulty.

The answers to today's Strands, game #200, are SPIDER MILLIPEDE BEETLE
TERMITE EARWIG SPANGRAM: CREEPYCRAWLIES My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

This is a bit of a strange Strands game, in that the spangram is very long
and only leaves room for five other answers. Given that these are all pretty easy, that makes for a potentially quick solve and a short game.

It's not necessarily an unsatisfying one (for me at least, because I love bugs), but I do wish it had been slightly harder. Once I spotted SPIDER the theme was obvious, and the spangram itself was easy too. Its position on the board left little room for doubt about what most of the other solutions were, and I was done in about five minutes max.

The answers to today's Strands, game #207, are SWING CRIB HIGHCHAIR STROLLER BLANKET PLAYPEN SPANGRAM: BABYGEAR My rating: Easy My score: 1 hint

I needed a hint here, because the theme clue of 'Special delivery' wasn't enough for me to identify the concept, even once I'd uncovered my first answer, SWING, by accident. This was unfortunate if I'd have got CRIB or HIGHCHAIR or PLAYPEN I'm sure I'd have been fine. But SWING can mean many things, as can Special delivery, so I was left in the dark until I used that hint.

After that it was plain sailing, other than for the spangram; I could see
that BABY was part of it, but needed to cross off a few more answers before I realized that GEAR was the other half of the word. But in summary: it was,
um, child's play.
