This is probably my favorite Strands puzzle of the week. It’s just the right amount of challenging, it all makes logical sense, it’s exactly what this game should be – but isn’t always. The theme clue suggested seating, but I found both CHAIR and SEAT and neither changed color. The problem, obviously, was that I didn’t take have the whole picture in either case: they were actually SEATING (the spangram) and ARMCHAIR.
That aside, it was simply a matter of me wracking my brain for things you could sit on, then finding them on the board. It took me about 15 minutes all told, which again is exactly as it should be.
