Do you ever have those days when you just can’t get on with Strands and can’t see any words at all?
I had one of those days today, needed a tip to get started and a lot of effort to finally complete the search. When this is the case, it’s often because I don’t understand the theme, but that wasn’t the case here, especially after getting OVERT and BRAZEN. In short, it was all far from DISCLAIMER.
Maybe my late night binge watching Multibus has something to do with it. Honestly, I could have done it in a heartbeat.
