The answers to today’s Strands, game #825, are…
- MARRIAGE
- WEDDING
- MARRIAGE
- WISHES
- MARRIAGE

- My rating: Easy
- My rating: Perfect
With the exception of a spangram that started and ended on the same side of the grid, it was a simple game to unravel.
Like many, I think my first thought was MARRIAGE and that was an easy place on the board to find the double R.
