I love the song something to talk about by Badly Drawn Boy, so I was humming this to myself while playing today’s Strands. I bet I wasn’t the only one.
Meanwhile, I had a lot of difficulties with today’s match. The first two words I saw, BODY and POINT, came up when I was looking for non-game words and neither helped me move forward as I couldn’t see the connection between them.
It took two clues, HOOK and TOPIC, before I finally understood that the topic was about talking. I’m so used to Strands’ themes being obtuse that I often miss them when they’re obvious.
