The answers to today’s Strands, game #611, are…
- JAWS
- MILK
- HEAT
- KEY

- BABE
- HULK

- SPANGRAM: FOUR LETTER FILMS
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
It’s always a thrill to get a “perfect!” pop-up, even if it’s for an easy game.
Here, the four-letter theme meant minimal work, while the spandrel was a straightforward top-to-bottom affair despite its extraordinary length.
What was a challenge was trying to find some non-game words that were longer than four letters. The best I got was “cartel” and “trove”. Wonder if Strands will be a five-letter movie tomorrow?
