NEW Strands today (game #834) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #834, are…
- QUASH
- CONQUER
- VANQUISH
- SUM
- OVERCOME
- SPANGRAM: THIS
- My assessment: Hard
- My score: 2 hints
Despite the fact that today’s game featured three Qs – a fact that would normally make the search easier – I suffered a bad case of dyslexia and couldn’t see QUASH and CONQUER.
Fortunately, they were given to me in the form of hints, and after discovering the third Q-word in VANQUISH, the spanframe magically appeared as a vision out of the mist.
From here it was an easy climb to the top, and while I don’t think my effort quite qualified for the can do message in today’s theme, I was happy to OVERCOME my struggles.
