- CHAIR
- CROW
- TREE

- SPANGRAM: YOGAPOSES
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 4 hints
I have never done yoga, and I almost certainly never will do yoga. My knowledge of yoga is at best minimal. So, yes, I struggled to solve today’s Strands. I’m not complaining; millions of people do yoga every day, it’s a perfectly legitimate inclusion in the game, but it’s just not right for me.
I therefore needed a combination of lucky guesses and hints to solve it, which never makes for the most satisfying experience. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow.
