The answers to today's Strands, game #755, are…

  • EMAIL
  • TEXT
  • MISSIVE
  • LETTER
  • MEMO
  • POSTCARD
  • SPANGRAM: CORRESPONDENCE
  • My rating: Hard
  • My score: Perfect

It took me a while to get going today, which is why I’m classifying this game as tricky.

After spotting EMAIL and understanding the theme I managed to crack through a search containing modern and traditional CORRESPONDENCE formats.

Personally I am a big fan of a POSTCARD — in many ways a forerunner to the limited space allowed by many social media communications.

One of the pleasures of thrift store shopping in the UK, where postcards were a major element of going on vacation in the pre digital era, is discovering an old postcard sent to a neighbour, which will inevitably describe the weather and description of a minor injury that has befallen the sender. Postcard from the Past is a good podcast and website on the topic.
