New -threads today (game #555) – the answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #555, is …
- Domino
- DICE
- PENGUIN
- NEWSPAPER
- Orca
- PIANO
- Spangram: black and white
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Perfect
The first word I discovered in day-and got as a non-play-word-was black, the second was white. I was wondering if Strands played a cunning trick on us. Then I saw and connected black and white, and everything became clear.
Domino and Dice were easy enough to spot, but the other black and white things posed more of a challenge. I managed to see penguin and newspaper, but the last two words took me a little longer.
It took me at least three attempts before I finally got Orca. Despite it being only four letters. Hopefully I wasn’t the only one who found this one difficult.
