Strands #296
Who on earth …?
This was a toughie!
“Who on earth…?”
I actually stumbled across a few answers without knowing what I was looking for.
I found HOLLY in the top-right corner, followed by BROOK in the bottom right.
I then found RIVER on the left.
These revealed LAUREL in the bottom left and WILLOW on the right-hand side.
These are all words that can both describe something from the natural world and be a person’s name!
With that in mind, getting the last one was trivial.
I connected CLEMENTINE in the top-left corner, and completed the puzzle.
