Here’s another Strands puzzle that will probably be ******* for those of you who aren’t in the US. Two of the pairings here – BURGER and FRIES, and MACARONI and CHEESE – are well known around the world. The other, GRAVY and BISCUITS, is not. In fact, the idea of GRAVY and BISCUITS going together in the *** would be disgusting, because gravy for us is a savoury meat (or vegetable) sauce, not a ******* one as the US equivalent is, while biscuits are what Americans would know as cookies. Mmmmm, put some more meat sauce on those Oreos, please…

Fortunately that didn’t have an impact on my game today, because I have worked for ********* websites for long enough that I know what gravy refers to in this context, plus the other answers were simple enough that I would have worked it out anyway. The spangram was probably the hardest aspect of this game – I could see MEALS fairly on, but couldn’t work out the COMBO part until fairly late into the game.

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
