The answers to today’s Strands, game #745, are…
- STYLE
- COACH
- BLOOD
- LESSON
- HACK
- STORAGE
- CYCLE
- SPANGRAM: THE AFTERLIFE
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Perfect
The concept of things being given a new life, or indeed an AFTERLIFE, is something I fully support – our ancestors were inventive with everything they owned, caught or bought, and so should we, whether it’s tonight’s dinner or an iPhone we no longer need.
That said, I really struggled to understand what today’s theme was until the very end, and I’m still a little puzzled by the HACK, which I can only assume is a life hack that you pass on to friends.
PRESERVE was the longest word of the day and I really struggled to see and connect. Thanks for whizzing around the board as it was a slow one for me due to the lack of hints.
