and the spangram was MAKEUPEXAMStrands #419“Face time”🔵🔵🔵🔵🟡🔵Hi Strands fans. As a freelance tech writer by trade, when I see the words "Face time", I think Apple's video chat.But that was unlikely to be the theme of today's puzzle, so I instead began to think about makeup.
Not exactly a comfort zone of mine, but I knew enough of my partner's routine to make a decent start, finding FOUNDATION spelt backwards along the left-hand side, followed by POWDER to its right.Although I could see the word "makeup" as part of the spangram, I couldn't quite figure out how to land it on the other side of the board yet, so instead I connected the 'Z' in the top-right corner with BRONZER. With PRIMER below it, I was able to finally finish the spangram: MAKEUPEXAM.
That just left CONCEALER in the top-left corner to complete the puzzle.Yesterday's Strands answersReading this in a later time zone? You can find the full article on yesterday's Strands answers for game #418 right here..
