Strands #256
Name of the game
Hi Strands fans.
This is one of those puzzles where a cultural difference across the Atlantic raises its head once again.
I spotted “HIDESEEK” spelt across the board from left to right and assumed it was the spangram.
But it turns out we’re not looking for that kind of game.
Nor are we looking for “CARDS”, which could also be found near the bottom.
Thankfully, I found PEACOCK in the top right, which at least set me on the right track.
(Colonel) MUSTARD completed the characters I’d heard of in the bottom left.
