The answers to today’s Strands, game #700, are…
- TO AGREE
- PRIME
- PRICE
- OFFER
- HERE
- DONATION
- SPANGRAM: GENEROSITY

- My rating: Perfect
Even though I don’t need any hints, I rate this game as difficult because it took me a long time to find all the words.
Part of the difficulty was that all the words – except GRANT – read from right to left, something I still struggle with despite several years of playing this game.
GENEROSITY is one of humanity’s greatest traits, but as is the case with most, if not all, search words today, it is too often associated with financial generosity as opposed to the generosity of kindness – something we can all afford.
