The answers to today's Strands, game #247, are BAND CHOIR DRAMA DEBATE YEARBOOK ORCHESTRA SPANGRAM: AFTERSCHOOL My rating: Moderate My score: 6
hints

Well, this was a disaster. I needed six hints to solve today's Strands, which means I needed hints for every single answer bar the spangram, which I got at the end when there were no other words that could possibly fit. And really I had no idea what the theme was until very late on.

Part of the problem was that in the UK, where I am, several of these AFTERSCHOOL activities are not common or at least have different names. I've never seen the likes of BAND, YEARBOOK or ORCHESTRA listed among my kids' after-school activities, anyway. DEBATE, CHOIR and DRAMA are there plus dozens of sports and many other activities but I didn't put them together to make the theme.

The answers to today's Strands, game #254, are ECHO VICTOR DELTA FOXTROT GOLF TANGO BRAVO SPANGRAM: NATOALPHABET My rating: Moderate My score: 1 hint

I've used the NATOALPHABET so many times over the past month or so that those code words should be seared into my brain. I had some work done on my car,
and spent seemingly hours speaking to people on the phone (garage, insurance, hire car firm etc) to give them my license plate number, my address, postal code and so on. The phonetic alphabet was the obvious way I could guarantee they got down my information properly, but I always struggled to remember
some of the specifics. What was K again? KING? KITTEN? Was P PEPPER or PETER or PIGGY or PUPIL? None of them, of course K is KILO and P is PAPA, but hey, I was never in the military

Fortunately all of the answers in today's Strands were ones I knew, but I did need a hint to get started. I also struggled with the spangram finding ALPHABET early on, but not realizing it needed the NATO bit at the start
until I'd completed most of the other answers. Anyway, SIERRA ECHO ECHO

The answers to today's Strands, game #261, are KNIFE TONGS FORK SPOON SKEWER SPORK CHOPSTICKS SPANGRAM: UTENSILS My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

This is about as easy as Strands get: I suspect a five-year-old knows most of this words and can probably spell half of them too. Bonus points for the NYT including SPORK as well as SPOON and FORK in order to make up the numbers; does anyone really use a SPORK? SKEWER is probably the only vaguely difficult word here, because it's not something I'd expect to find in the company of
the other UTENSILS here. Well, other than on a barbecue, but that's a pretty rare thing round my way.
