Strands #222
“Let's experiment”
🔵🔵🟡🔵
🔵🔵
Hi Strands fans. The theme of "Let's experiment" immediately got me thinking along scientific lines, and specifically the three branches we got taught at school: physics, biology and chemistry. It was the last of these that would turn out to be especially relevant with the spangram of CHEMISTRYLAB.
But I didn't get it right away, instead getting FLASK in the bottom left-hand corner. A little to its right was GOGGLES, which cleared the path to the beginning of the spangram in "che..." for CHEMISTRYLAB.
After that, it was just a case of recalling exactly what was kept in those cupboards - no mean feat, given it has been decades since I stepped into a lab. All the same, I found BEAKER and PIPETTE along the left-hand side, which left just THERMOMETER to get on the right to complete the puzzle.
