I had a 50/50 chance of getting the right word for the last one. Fortunately, I guessed that it was a c and not a g.

[RoseMorninStar]

Yeah, there were too many variables in the remaining choices, even with my good start, to choose a 2nd word without winnowing down the options. I don't like playing

I didn’t get to solve Strands completely - but the two words I did solve made no sense to me in connection with the clue.

Help?!

If you mean "Staff Members" they were all musical notations

Holy crap.

Rose, I didn’t get that one either.

This was tricky, and I'm pretty sure it must be US Centric!

I don't know what it was--with a couple exceptions, it's certainly not how I remember things. Either they're doing some wordplay that went over my head, or things have changed since the last time I checked.

Are the two of you referring to Strands or Connections? Stands was odd and I'm totally flummoxed by Connections - I haven't made my first move yet.

[Dave_LF]

I'm talking about Strands anyway, and the answer is that things have changed since my memory formed. But they also changed before that. There is no truth, everything is relative!

I found the clues and answers weird/puzzling for Strands.
Strands #59
“A token of our appreciation”

[Jude]

I got all the words in Strands but one, and I don't understand the relation with the theme.

Exactly.

They must mean game pieces but even then it doesn't make sense.

It was Monopoly tokens.

Yesterday: I don't think our monopoly game has those tokens, it at least not all of those.

The Mini was amusing. And Strands was very easy. Extremely hit-and-miss, that one.
