The answers to today’s Strands game number 795 are…
- BLESS

- PERMISSION
- SANCTION
- SPANGRAM: DARTENODO
- My rating: Hard

I sometimes get a little worried trying to find non-play words in Strands and this was the case today as I wasted a good few minutes trying to connect “ceiling” and “notice”.
One non-game word I collected was “give,” but I was already deep into the puzzle when I realized it made up today’s GIVETHENOD spangram.
Two double letter combinations were the key to unlocking this game: BLESS and APPROVE, but the slow progress I made warranted being rated “hard” instead of “easy.”
