Yesterday we had DIGITALCLOCK and today we have RISEANDSHINE. I wonder if anyone at the NYT is getting subliminal messages about his tardiness through Strands. Or maybe it’s just a coincidence…

In the meantime, please tell me I wasn’t the only one who missed that the diagonal spangram split the game into two sets of words: rising on one side and shining on the other.
