Strands #233 “Cool color!” 🔵🔵🔵🔵 🔵🟡🔵 Hi Strands fans. I might have been left pondering this one for a while, if I didn't immediately spot COBALT in the top-left corner. With AZURE to its right, it became clear pretty quickly that today's puzzle was about shades of blue.

Despite that, it took me a while to see how to connect the word "blues" into a spangram, so I tried to carve it out with more answers on the board. INDIGO was in the bottom left, and TURQUOISE opposite it, meaning I had an answer in every corner. When I got NAVY along the middle, I finally had enough letters down to figure out that the word in front of "blues" was simply "the".

That's THEBLUES, which I guess I should have got. Only one word was left, and thankfully it was in a straight line, because I don't think I'd have ever got it otherwise. The final answer: PERIWINKLE.
