Top marks to the NYT puzzle setters for this edition of Strands, which offers just the right amount of challenge. No real specialist knowledge is required – a factor which always makes a Strands game more inclusive, and therefore better for more people – but it requires a bit of thought and probably a bit of luck to solve it without hints.

The theme clue of ‘We’re walking’ was a little cryptic, but when I spotted HUMAN – placed prominently at the top of the grid – I had an inkling of what was needed. I couldn’t find a second word, though, until I focused on the two Bs near the bottom right of the board and got GIBBON. That led me to KANGAROO and then – surprisingly – PANGOLIN, which I didn’t know was a BIPEDAL animal. The other answers were easier to get simply because there were not many possibilities left, although it still took me an annoyingly long time to realize that the last word was OSTRICH!
