Strands #294 “Are you listening?” 🔵💡🔵🟡 🔵🔵🔵 Hi Strands fans. I found today's puzzle rather tricky, even when I figured out what it was about. Although I, of course, know the song 'Winter Wonderland', it's kind of background musak to me, and I've never really paid attention to the lyrics before.
That made getting the answers a bit of trial and error, but I started well enough by finding the word BELLS even before I even knew the theme of "Are you listening?" related to the song. At this point, I assumed it was maybe festive things you could hear, but after a fruitless search I used a clue. This revealed SNOW and, given you can't hear snow, I realized this had to be about something else.
When I saw the word "wonder", I remembered the existence of the song, and connected the spangram of WINTERWONDERLAND. Now it was a case of racking my brains for the other lyrics. Something about snow GLISTENNING? Check! Found it at the bottom to complete that side of the board.
Nearly there, as the spangram took up a huge section of the board! When I found SLEIGH in the top left, I remembered the chorus: We're WALKING in a winter wonderland! I connected it to complete the puzzle with just the one clue used. Yesterday's Strands answers Reading this in a later time zone?
