The answers to today’s Strands, game #623, are…
- FOIL
- SCARF
- STOLE
- FLAT BREAD
- CELLOPHANE
- SHAWL
- SPANGRAM: IT’S SAWRAP

My first thought was that we were looking for things that go in circles, like roundabouts or motorsport tracks, but after getting FOIL while searching for non-gaming words, I then thought they were objects wrapped around cardboard tubes.
I changed my mind when I picked up spangram and then SCARF and realized it was more about packaging in general.
Well, sometimes you have to deal with it.
