“What do you think about this?”
🔵🔵🔵🔵
🔵🟡🔵🔵
Hello Strands fans. A nice and simple question today, once you understand the theme: “What do you think about this?”
Right away I thought of “making”—things like sculptures or other types of art—and I seemed to be on the right track when I got MOLD at the top of the board. CANVAS and PAINT followed to the left of it, and it was clear that I was indeed right.
Turning my attention to the bottom of the grid, I found both BRUSH and CHARCOAL, which neatly erased two “S”s and an “A” at the edge of the grid. Working backwards, I discovered that this was the end of the spelling: ARTCLASS, which was written backwards from right to left.
Two answers remained to be unearthed, divided in two by the spangram. Working them as two independent anagrams, SAEEL became EASEL, while ETELTAP became PALETTE.
