Today's Strands answers So, what are today's Strands answers for game #385? Drumroll, please... (Image credit: Alan Martin) ...and the spangram was NEEDLEWORK. Strands #385 “In stitches” Hi Strands fans. Even though I know nothing about needlework, the theme of "In stitches" could only refer to two things: laughter - which was yesterday's theme - or crafts. It had to be the latter, so I found NEEDLEWORK spelt down the board and was away. It was largely through the process of elimination that I got through this puzzle without clues. I saw CROCHET in the top-left corner, which helped me get PATCH, MEND and DARN below it to complete the left-hand side of the grid. The right side was a bit harder, but I made it easier for myself by getting KNIT in the middle of it, breaking up the remaining words neatly. BASTE was below it - a word I've never heard in this context - and that just left EMBROIDER in the top right to complete the puzzle. Yesterday's Strands answers Reading this in a later time zone?
