Is this the easiest Strands puzzle of the week? I think so. Or at least it’s the one that I solved with the least drama and in the shortest time. The task was helped by the fact that the spangram, SITCOMS, sat right in the middle of the board reading left to right and high up, with only one minor wiggle in its path.
With that in place the task was clear, and I immediately spotted COMMUNITY (watched a few episodes, didn’t particularly like it), VEEP (amazing, one of my favorites), CHEERS (an all-time great that gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling if I watch a re-run), SCRUBS (never watched it, always thought I should), FRIENDS (meh) and BEWITCHED (before my time). All in all, a nice, fun Strands puzzle.
