NEW Strands today (game #640) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #640, are…
- CURVE
- SENTENCE
- FUNCTION
- EQUATION
- CALCULATION
- SPANGRAM: MATHS CLASS
- My assessment: Hard
- My score: 2 hints
This game was so hard that even using two hints didn’t speed me up that much.
My slow search was partly due to a mental block that occurs every time I see the word math, but also because the word of the day was well stored – except for the recurring ION endings, of course.
I hope it wasn’t as stressful for you.
