Today’s Strands Breakdown
I thought this one was super tricky and had to use a few hints to get all the answers. Or I’m just not on my game at the moment. It was hard also because there were multiple instances of words like BLEND or BLENDER out there, and I couldn’t believe they weren’t working. It all made sense when it ended up being the first half of a very long and tricky spangram! Also, I’m not sure I’ve ever owned a blender that had a GRIND setting. CHOP also seems like more of a food processor setting rather than a blender setting. But what do I know?
