The answers to today’s Strands, game #822, are…
- YELLOW
- HEDGE
- WILD
- BRIAR
- DAMASK
- PRAIRIE
- SPANGRAM: ROSEGARDEN
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 hints
I took the theme “by any other name…” literally and I began by searching for pseudonyms.
After spotting YELLOW and HEDGE it still made no sense to me, so I took a pair of hints in WILD and BRIAR.
I do not think I have ever gone as deep into a Strands game without understanding what I was searching for. Thankfully, after exhausting every non-game word available I saw the spangram and my exhaustion was ended.
