Strands #259 “Would you look at that?” 🔵💡🔵 💡 🔵🟡🔵🔵 🔵🔵 Hi Strands fans. This one was a little tricky to begin with. As themes go, "Would you look at that?" is maddeningly vague and could apply to just about anything.
Indeed, I was just absentmindedly connecting words for my clue section above when I came across BRIDGE in the bottom-right corner, not expecting it to be an answer. But even with that confirmed, I was none the wiser as to what the theme might mean, so used a clue to reveal ARCH, and then another which gave me FORT. It was only then that I had enough information to figure out these were all LANDMARKS, which was revealed to be the spangram.
That divided the board rather helpfully, with four answers left: two above it, and two below. I got the longest answer on the board next - MONUMENT - which cleared a straight line for TOWER spelt down the left-hand side. The top section was nice and clear.
CASTLE was on the left, which meant I just had to unscramble the anagram of PLAACE into the PALACE to complete the puzzle. Yesterday's Strands answers Reading this in a later time zone? You can find the full article on yesterday's Strands answers for game #258 right here ..
