The answers to today’s threads, game #487, is …
- CHERRY
- COFFEE
- Butterscotch
- Brownie
- Pistache
- Spanggram: Ice Cream
- My rating: Difficult
- My score: 1 tip
In many ways this was my Perfect Strands game. It was difficult, but not too difficult. The span frame was of a standard, acceptable length. There were no disputed words.
Most of all, it made me think of my favorite treatment for a few minutes.
I forget that I am lactose intolerant when it comes to ice (in case someone wants an argument, my theory is that every human being is lactose intolerant) and especially when it comes to Pistache -ice.
I had been under the impression that it was a relatively rare taste, but here it rubs shoulders with the other top alternatives to the ice cream flavor mafia of vanilla, strawberries and chocolate. The salted caramel team is really annoyed that they did not do in this puzzle.
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.
