The answers to today’s Strands, game #249, are…

TWEETPOSTSHARELIKEFOLLOWCOMMENTREPORTSPANGRAM: SOCIALMEDIA

My rating: EasyMy score: Perfect

There are days when Strands is simply too easy, and today is one of them. The theme of SOCIALMEDIA was obvious as soon as I saw TWEET lurking in the top left corner of the board, particularly given the clue of ‘Extremely online’, and after that it was merely a matter of my tracking down other related words. It helped that the spangram was itself the words SOCIALMEDIA, so there wasn’t even any ambiguity there. I was done and dusted within about two minutes, which is fine – but I’d welcome a slightly tougher challenge tomorrow.
