Strands #237
“Sing-song”
🔵🔵🟡🔵
🔵🔵🔵
Hi Strands fans. A nice and easy one today – or at least, I found it pretty straightforward.
Although the theme of “Sing-song” strongly hints at music, I was pushed towards the specific genre by finding both BALLAD and SHANTY along the bottom two rows. That helped be get the spangram of VOCALMUSIC immediately above both, and I was away.
I immediately saw LULLABY above the spangram, but was slowed down a little by my total inability to correctly spell it. Is it one ‘L’ or two? Is there an ‘E’ on the end? I got there eventually, but it was a tedious struggle.
ARIA was much easier, given it was now cordoned off in the top left, and that meant only two answers were still at large. The ‘J’ led me to JINGLE first, which made unravelling SPIRITUAL to finish the puzzle pretty straightforward.
