The answers to today's Strands, game #68, are…

  • LAUNCH
  • REENTRY
  • SPLASHDOWN
  • ORBIT
  • ENCOUNTER
  • SPANGRAM: SPACEFLIGHT

  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Perfect

No problems here for me, on account of spaceflight being pretty much my specialist subject. No, I'm not an astronaut – but I wanted to be one when I was a child, and have been obsessed by all things space since then. 

To make this Strands puzzle even easier, the word 'space' was easy to pick out, which led to SPACEFLIGHT, the spangram, early on. None of the words proved hard to find from then, although ENCOUNTER is arguably a little tangential to spaceflight (thus far, at least).
