There's something strange about today's strands.
I've got all the words (with a lot of hints) except the spangram.
But the letters that are left don't seem to make sense, and don't form a spangram.

Besides, I don't get the category at all.

The letters left are T,H,E,R,E,B,E,A,R,S and there aren't many ways to combine them. Googling them didn't help.

So, I can't post the result, because it remains unsolved  ??? ???


You actually almost have the answer.

The clue for the puzzle was "just right".

the answers you found were MAMA, PAPA, BABY, PORRIDGE, CHAIRS, BEDS, HARD, SOFT

The spanagram is not "there bears", but "three bears", as the answers you found were from the fairy tale of Goldielocks and the Three Bears.  Remember, in the tale, Goldielocks would try something from Papa Bear, and it was always "too something".  When she tried Mama Bear's object, it was also "too something".   But Baby Bear's option was always "just right".


Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

Sorry, I didn't play STRANDS yesterday. I played the day before and had a hard time finding the last word, which was Rutabaga, LOL.

A two-fer today!

Good thing Wordle went reasonably well, because I totally struck out at Connections.

I was most of the way there on yellow -- I knew it had something to do with photo editing. I was close on blue -- I knew it was some kind of mechanism. If I'd figured out specifically what mechanism I could have guessed ROCKS. Purple I completely missed, but it's a clever grouping.
