New Strands Today (Game #531) – The answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #531, is …
- LOGIC
- ANALYSIS
- LANGUAGE
- Number
- ORDER
- CAUSE
- Spanggram: Left brain
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 tip
The theme “Think about it!” Could mean anything at all, so I went in search of non-game words to earn a tip.
I got the word back, but completely missed seeing the brain, which probably says something about my lack of logic and left brain -finger skill.
Either way, with logic gifted for me, I was able to spot the other words of thinking, including a cork screw analysis and backwards.
A nice workout for the brain, but not to tax an exercise that I actually had to do proper thinking.
