The answers to today's Strands, game #820, are…

  • RAMP
  • MOREL
  • NETTLE
  • BLACKBERRY
  • CHESTNUT
  • CHICORY
  • SPANGRAM: FORAGING
  • My rating: Hard
  • My score: 2 hints

I had no idea what today’s theme was to begin with and assumed it was some pop culture reference that had passed me by — like a quote from Golden Girls or the punchline of a Tim Robinson sketch.

My first hint word of RAMP didn’t help much either, but after I took a second hint of MOREL I got it — this is all about FORAGING, I thought, as the spangram magically appeared before my eyes.

Foraging is one of those things that sounds brilliant — it’s natural, resourceful and free — but I just know that I would get it wrong and pick the wrong kind of CHESTNUT or mushroom and end up poisoning myself.

BLACKBERRY picking is the most common form of foraging (for one week a year) where I live, but I still managed to get that wrong and give myself stomach pain once.
