Today’s Strands Breakdown
Today’s Strands puzzle goes well with yesterday’s, especially if you enjoy purple fabric. I found MAGENTA right away but I was already 99% sure this was a purple grid. Purple is a royal shade, after all. Pretty much all the rest of these went really quick until the top left corner with LAVENDER and finally PLUM. It just looked like a jumble of letters for a long time but I finally sorted it out.
