The answers to today’s Strands, game #69, are…

• TUXEDO
• CORSAGE
• DANCE
• DRESS
• COURT
• BOUTONNIERE
• SPANGRAM: PROMNIGHT

• My rating: Moderate
• My score: Perfect

I’m only marking this one as moderate because here in the ***, prom night is not really a thing, or at least it wasn’t when I was growing up. My experience of it is therefore almost entirely from watching US TV and movies, and sadly ‘bucket of pigs blood falling over the prom queen’ was not on the list.

Fortunately, PROMNIGHT itself, the spangram, was easy enough to find, and most of the others were relatively straightforward. That said, if it hadn’t been for the fact that BOUTONNIERE was on its own at the bottom of the board below PROMNIGHT, I’d have had no chance of finding it; I’ve literally never heard that word before.
