The answers to today’s Strands, game #93, are…

- SPANGRAM: USEFULADVICE
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: One hint
I always struggle in Strands when the theme is abstract, as it is today. USEFUL ADVICE – the spangram – sums up part of the challenge here, with the theme clue of ‘Purposeful pairs’ telling the rest of the story.
I got that I needed pairs, that bit was easy. But the purposeful side of it was harder to work out and I was essentially stumbling around in the dark until I eventually used a hint up. That gave me WATCH, at which point the task became a lot easier. LEARN immediately revealed itself to me, and once I spotted DIVIDE it was easy to claim CONQUER too. By that stage the spangram was also apparent, and I solved the rest of the puzzle with no fuss.
