“For a Rainy Day” immediately put me searching for coats, hats, and of course an umbrella, but it took me a while to add the “term” to complete today’s parasol-shaped spangram, indicating a search for the many parts that make up an umbrella. There are more than I thought.
Initially seeing no relevant words after spotting the spangram, I went looking for non-gaming words in order to get a clue – but in doing so, I accidentally found SHAFT and CANOPY, which started me on my journey of discovery.
I’m not a fan of umbrellas in urban areas. They are fine in the countryside or on a golf course, but navigating an array of pointy umbrellas on a crowded street carries many perils.
