The answers to today’s Strands, game #729, are…
- OFFICE
- Wi-Fi
- PRINTER
- STANDS
- OFFICES
- LIVING ROOM
- SPANGRAM: COWORKING SPACE
- My rating: Hard
- My rating: Perfect

I have only used a WeWork style COWORKINGSPACE a few times.
Luckily, I’m happy to knock on home, but I totally see the value in separating home life from work life, sharing small talk with strangers, and being able to use a PRINTER without spending half your salary on ink.
