Strands #288
Crossed words
Hi Strands fans.
This was the most enjoyable Strands puzzle in quite a while!
This was a puzzle about combining two words to mean one thing - or PORTMANTEAUX as it’s known.
I found said spangram from top to bottom of the board, neatly dividing it in two.
But that didn’t exactly pop pop the floodgates, with the answers coming relatively slowly.
I then returned to the top right and realized that “leisure” was actually part of ATHLEISURE.
Finally, it was back to the bottom-left corner to figure out what LKENAT could be.
I eventually decoded it: ANKLET!
