Today’s search takes from the high-born of the seating world (THRONE), to the lowest (BEANBAG).
If I am going to make myself comfortable then I would pick the BEANBAG any day. Although it does depend on how long you’ve owned it; a baggy bean bag is nobody’s friend. Having said that, I’ve not sat in many thrones. Or indeed any, but judging by House of the Dragon, they’re not particularly ergonomic.
Anyway, it was hard not to whizz around today’s game, with even the longest and most obscure word, OTTOMAN, being easy to spot thanks to the double T.
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.

Only four words to spot but my goodness were they difficult to see.
Fortunately, the board was brimming with non-game words, including a couple of uncommonly long ones, so I took a hint.

I hope it was all more DELIGHTFUL and SATISFYING for you.
