The answers to today’s Strands, game #784, are…
- ARGUE
- DIFFER
- QUARREL
- WRANGLE
- SQUABBLE
- BICKER
- SPANGRAM: LOCKHORNS
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Initially I thought the theme “Get into it” was describing new hobbies, like when you get into something new — like baking or model railways or jigsaws. Spotting ARGUE put a stop to this notion and sent me off on the path of enlightenment — or should we say path of disagreement.
The order in which you spot game words is crucial to how quickly you complete Strands.
Had I seen LOCKHORNS and WRANGLE first I would have thought we were looking to get into some rodeo action. We weren’t, obviously.
