Wow, this was far tougher than the typical Strands puzzle. And much more conceptual than lots of the most up-to-date video games, which have basically been associated phrases a couple of matter you could or could not have had expertise with. In distinction, that is all about language, actually – all eight phrases are of the format __ of the __, as an illustration CREAM of the CROP or LIFE of the PARTY, with the primary being the ‘finest’ instance of the second.
I had no concept what was occurring for roughly half of the sport, uncovering phrases at common intervals however failing to identify any type of connection between them – or between them and the theme clue of ‘Better of the very best’. It was solely when I discovered LIFE that it began to make sense. I already had PARTY, and people two phrases clearly went collectively. When I discovered CREAM after which CROP in fast succession it was clear what I wanted to do, and I used to be in a position to give you the remaining phrases with none points after that. However it’s a difficult one, for certain.
