New Strands Today (Game #542) – The answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #542, is …
- LAKE
- POND
- OCEAN
- PORT
- LAGOON
- SWAMP
- Bayou
- Spanggram: Basses of water
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 tip
My first thought when I saw the theme was Rivers, but the lack of a letter V on the board excluded this opportunity. After finding a whole lot of non-game letters I decided to take a tip.
Lake gave me the confirmation I needed, and from there I circulated the board in search of water bodies where I found our long tension immediately after the pond.
From here it was ordinary sailing. Grab Ocean was just a coincidence of finding the game’s only letter C.
