The answers to today's Strands, game #756, are…

  • BUGS
  • SUET

As somebody who is always “a bit peckish”, this search could have been for everything from chips to fruit salad to Turkish banquet.

Instead, we were hunting for foodstuffs connected to our feathered friends. Discovering the spangram early in the game helped ease my initial confusion after finding BUGS and SUET first — both items that are not on my snack menu.

I managed to navigate the board fairly easily, struggling only over the combination of NECTAR and SEEDS – and I was also thrilled to spy a rare eight-letter non-game word.
