This is great. After all, the reason why we all love word games is that they get us thinking about language. And (as you’d hope would be the case for someone who spends their days writing), I love language. 

HOMOPHONES was the spangram, and the nicely cryptic ‘Sounds delicious!’ sort of gave the game away, or at least should have done once you uncovered one answer. For me, that was TIME – which, of course, sounds like ‘thyme’. 

After that, I spotted the spangram, which gave the board some structure, then worked methodically around the remainder. But it wasn’t easy – anything but. There are nine answers to find today, and lots of common consonants and vowels with which to assemble your words, so it’s a tricky ****** all right. Still, I’d rather a hard-but-fun puzzle like this than a few other recent Strands puzzles, so more of this please, NYT!
