After a long run of fairly easy games Strands has turned in the opposite direction, with another tricky search and hard-to-spot spangram.
The top left-hand corner is usually the key to me being fast or not and today’s blank had me navigating around the board until I found something vaguely “low-key elusive”.
Fortunately, after getting FAINT the word NEBULOUS revealed itself before my very eyes and I was on my way – or so I thought.
Struggling to think of any more words that fitted the theme I went hunting for non-game words and took a hint to eventually help me on my limp towards the finish line.
