The answers to today’s Strands, game #655, are…
- HONEY
- GARLIC
- LEMON
- ELDERBERRY
- TURMERIC
- SPANGRAM: IMMUNE BOOSTERS
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I didn’t know about the benefits of ELDERBERRY, but I was more than aware of the other “natural remedies” we were looking for today.
That said, I struggled to get going – possibly because I have a cold and I desperately need some IMMUNE BOOSTERS – until I finally spotted HONEY, GARLIC and LEMON.
On the subject of the spanframe, I hope I wasn’t the only one trying to find the word immunity.
