Strands #348
“Will you be my valentine?”
🔵🔵🔵🔵
🟡🔵🔵
Hi Strands fans. To absolutely nobody’s surprise, today’s puzzle is all about Valentine’s Day – something that the theme of “Will you be my valentine?” makes no secret of.
After failing with “love”, and “heart”, I realized this was slightly more tricky than it seemed. But then I got LOVEBUG in the bottom right and it clicked that this was about pet names. I followed it up with ANGEL above it, and HONEY to its left.
DARLING in the bottom-left corner followed, and I was then able to figure out the spangram: ENDEARMENT, snaking around the middle of the board.
Two answers were left in the top segment. Annoyingly, I’d already tried SNOOKUMS, but spelt it with an ‘E’. Still, with the correct spelling on the grid, I was able to figure out the final word: POOKIE in the top-left corner.
