Strands #319
“Bar association”
🟡🔵🔵🔵
🔵🔵
Hi Strands fans. I found today’s puzzle rather tricky, even though I saw through the pun of the theme – “Bar association” – right away.
I was immediately on the hunt for words associated with alcohol and connected the spangram of COCKTAILS right away.
That made things easier, but I still had a hard time finding everything. The right-hand side didn’t cause me too many problems, and I was able to connect MARTINI in the top right and SIDECAR below it with relative ease. STINGER was all that could be made with the remaining letters on this side of the grid.
But the two words on the left caused me far more problems, as I assumed they may be intertwined.
After more time than I’d care to admit, it finally clicked that the stray ‘Z’ was part of ZOMBIE, and that just left the anagram of “SOMOCILTNOA” to decode. It was, of course, COSMOPOLITAN.
