The answers to today’s Strands, game #623, are…
- FOIL
- SCARF
- STEAL
- FLAT BREAD
- CELLOPHANE
- SHAWL
- SPANGRAM: THE SAW BLADE

My first thought was that we would be looking for things that go in circles, like roundabouts or motor racing tracks, but after getting FOIL while searching for non-game words, I thought it was about things wrapped around cardboard tubes.
My mind was changed when I landed the spanframe and then DRY and I realized it was more about wrapping in general.
Well, sometimes you have to roll with it.
