The answers to today’s Strands, game #708, are…
- TRACK
- LUGGAGE
- SECURITY
- PASSPORT
- PILOT
- MACADAM
- SPANGRAM: AIRPORTS
- My rating: Hard
- My rating: Perfect
After first thinking we were looking for airlines, and then getting the spangram, the names of AIRPORTS, I was relieved when it was just airport related words.
Airport terminals are often described as being a living hell, but I’d reserve that description for any Build A Bear Workshop branch on a Saturday afternoon. There are a lot of things I don’t like about them, but I’ve found that arriving for a flight four hours early relieves my tension and allows me to enjoy the thrill of international jet-set travel and the unique availability of gigantic Toblerones.
Regardless, this research presented few surprises, but I found it to move slowly. I hope your passage went more smoothly.
