Strands is at its greatest when it performs with language, relatively than simply being collections of phrases inside a easy theme (though they will generally be a number of enjoyable to resolve too). Right now’s is an efficient instance: each reply right here is a part of a pair of phrases that collectively type a phrase that is used to imply OPTIONS, the spangram.
As an example, we have now SINK or SWIM, DOUBLE or NOTHING, FEAST or FAMINE and MAKE or BREAK. Very intelligent. The difficulty is that these video games could be laborious to establish. I uncovered SINK, MAKE and BREAK accidentally earlier than I noticed what was happening, and even after that I needed to do a good bit of looking to search out the primary half of every puzzle, earlier than I might then search for the second (which was often lots simpler to establish, clearly).
I bought all of them in the long run, but it surely took me longer than some Strands puzzles. And that, finally, is an efficient factor.
