The answers to today's Strands, game #115, are…

  • POSH
  • SNAZZY
  • DAPPER
  • SPIFFY
  • CHIC
  • SWANK
  • DRIPPY
  • SPANGRAM: FASHIONISTA

  • My rating: Moderate
  • My score: Perfect

I'm about as far from a FASHIONISTA, as it's possible for a human to be, and I have no embarrassment about that fact. That may explain why I struggled to find some of the answers today. A few were easy – for instance CHIC, DAPPER, SNAZZY stood out fairly quickly and make total sense in the context of the theme clue and the spangram. However, POSH confused me; I'd never have considered it to be related to fashion, particularly, although I guess it makes some sense.

DRIPPY also tripped me up; it was the final one I got, when the answer couldn't be anything else, and I suspect I wouldn't have solved it if not by default. But my struggles may well not be shared by anyone else, or certainly by those of you who spend more time thinking about clothes than I do.

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