• My rating: Baffled
• My score: 2 hints

I had exactly 0% idea of what was going on here until after I’d completed the game, at which point I googled GOODNIGHTMOON, the spangram, and learned in was a children’s book from 1947. Right. Well, it’s not one I’d ever heard of, and it seems an utterly bizarre choice to build a Strands puzzle around, unless it’s way better known in the US, where the NYT is based, than it is in the ***. Or maybe it’s just me? But I have kids, I read them hundreds of books when they were young, and I never came across this one.

Anyway, all of that made it something of a struggle to solve. I got most of the way through it purely by guessing random words, but couldn’t work out the spangram. I could see that GOODNIGHT fit, and given the theme clue figured that might be part of it, but nothing I tried worked. Eventually I had to use hints to get the final two words (MUSH and KITTENS), at which point I found the spangram by default.

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