Strands #224
“Time to get cozy”
🔵🔵🔵🔵
💡🔵🔵🟡
Hi Strands fans. With the exception of one word that has a different meaning in the U.K where I am, today’s puzzle didn’t cause too many problems.
“Time to get cozy” can surely only mean the seasonal switch from summer to fall, so it was just a question of figuring out which part of the transition it was referring to. After failing to find “blankets”, I spotted VEST in the bottom-right corner and pivoted to clothing.
SCARF in the top left was joined by both FLEECE and SWEATER above VEST to complete the right-hand side. But the soup of letters on the left-hand side was giving me enough problems that I eventually caved and took a clue.
The clue revealed FLANNEL, which explains my confusion. In the UK, a “flannel” is what you’d call a washcloth – so not what I would expect to find in a list of cozy clothes! I have no such excuse for CARDIGAN immediately above it, though.
That left just the spangram to connect with the remaining letters from top to bottom. It was, of course, FALLFASHION.
