The answers to today's Strands, game #725, are…

  • CHEEKY
  • CUTE
  • SASSY
  • PERT
  • IMPUDENT
  • SAUCY
  • FRESH
  • SPANGRAM: TALKINGBACK

  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Perfect

“Watch the attitude!” sounds like the sort of thing a teacher would say to a disruptive pupil, which is possibly why the first words I found were non-game ones for “teach” and “class”.

After abandoning my school-based search, I discovered CHEEKY and navigated the board hunting for synonyms.

The corner that included SAUCY and FRESH was the only section where I struggled — if I had seen these words first I would have been pretty confused.
