The answers to today’s threads, game #460, is …
- SEASICK
- Sleeping
- Pinwheel
- ELEVATOR
- Outbreak
- Spangram: Yoyo -trick
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 tips
I really struggled today and didn’t know what we were looking for, even after using two tips – seasick and sleeping seemed to imply travel.
My third correct word, pinwheel, confused me even more; Did it refer to the little wheels in a wheel case?
Elevator and exclaim also didn’t help much, both still hinted at a guard travel-related group of words.
It was only at the end when I got the excitement that I finally understood what “strings attached meant”. Bravo Strands, Bravo!
