The answers to today's Strands, game #183, are…

  • ESQUIRE
  • VISCOUNT
  • KNIGHT
  • QUEEN
  • DUCHESS
  • EARL
  • BARON
  • SPANGRAM: TITLES

  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Perfect

I'm always pleased when I see a Q in a Strands puzzle. The letter is always followed by a U, obviously, which drastically reduces the words that can be made from it. Throw in the fact that very few letters can go before a Q either – it's basically vowels or S, occasionally an R – and these words are not usually hard to uncover.

There were two of them in today's Strands, ESQUIRE and QUEEN, and I found both with no problems early on. That confirmed the central theme of the puzzle, which the clue of 'Order in the court!' had not necessarily helped much with, and set me on the way to solving what was another fairly simple game.

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