The answers to today's Strands, game #832, are…
“Track event” — that’s athletics right? Err, nope.
Fortunately the spangram — KARAOKE — was very difficult to miss, so I didn’t have to work looking for shot put, discus and javelin. Instead, our quest was searching for musical words.
I have always avoided KARAOKE, both having to sing — which is a nightmare — and also the horror of people murdering some of the greatest songs of all time. It is quite hard to avoid in TV shows, though; recently I suffered my way through Alfred Molina attempting Thunder Road by Bruce Springsteen in the otherwise enjoyable The Boroughs. At least I think it was Thunder Road. It’s the sort of thing that should come with a warning before you start watching.
Anyway, I digress… the game was an easy one, made all the easier by a couple of long game words in MICROPHONE and LOUDSPEAKER.
Strands is the NYT's not-so-new-any-more word game, following Wordle and Connections. It's now a fully fledged member of the NYT's games stable that has been running for a year and which can be played on the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

The answers to today's Quordle, game #1600, are…
Gosh, this was a tricky game and another one where every word took ages to get, although I am pretty pleased that I only made one wrong guess (“belly” instead of JELLY).
I also wasted quite a while because I spelled SHOAL s-h-a-o-l and spent ages trying to think of other words that would fit.
Hope it was easier for you.
