NEW Strands today (game #645) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #645, are…
- NOUN
- VERB
- ADJECTIVE
- ARTICLE
- CONJUNCTION
- SPANGRAM: PARTS OF SPEECH
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Getting NOUN confirmed today’s theme and some – if not all – of the other words we were looking for.
VERB and ADJECTIVE were the next most obvious grammar words and after this I saw talk and when it didn’t turn blue the whole spanframe stained which then revealed ARTICLE.
All that was left was CONJUNCTION, which I’m sure was most people’s last find; kudos if it was your first.
