and the spangram was CARDGAMES.Strands #369“All decked out”💡🔵🟡🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵Hi Strands fans. I found today's puzzle rather tricky.

Not only did I have to use a clue to get started, but even when I knew what the theme meant, I'd never heard of half the games involved, meaning a lot of tedious trial and error.That clue revealed POKER in the bottom-left corner, which was pretty explicit about what the theme of "All decked out" meant (if it were EUCHRE or PINOCHLE, I wouldn't have had a clue). As such, I was able to divide the board in two with the spangram of CARDGAMES.

I then picked off the ones I'd heard of, even if I'd never actually played them. CRIBBAGE was in the top-right corner, with RUMMY directly below it. I then experimented with the remaining letters in the bottom-right corner until I came up with EUCHRE.

I next found CANASTA on the left-hand side, which just left the anagram of HCOLNEIP to decode. I'd never heard of PINOCHLE, but by joining random letters until something worked, I got there in the end.Yesterday's Strands answersReading this in a later time zone?
