The answers to today's Strands, game #92, are…

  • YOGURT
  • MISO
  • KEFIR
  • KOMBUCHA
  • KIMCHI
  • SAUERKRAUT
  • SPANGRAM: FERMENTED

  • My rating: Hard
  • My score: Three hints

I generally manage to solve each Strands puzzle without needing hints, but failed miserably in that task today: I needed three of them. Will everyone find it as tough as I did? I suspect many will, because a) many of the words are relatively obscure and b) many have uncommon spellings.

I say many are relatively obscure, although obviously it depends on your diet. I love YOGURT, but none of the other answers here are part of my regular cuisine. If you're a regular eater of KIMCHI or SAUERKRAUT then those words may have jumped out more readily to you. But even outside of that, only MISO really has a common structure in English; K is not a common letter to begin a word, but starts three answers and is in the middle of another. Maybe I could/should have solved it with two or even one hint, but there's only so long I'm prepared to stare at the Strands board, and I ultimately decided enough was enough today. Frustrating – but I'm glad it was a little harder than some of them have been recently.

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
