Strands word paths
Choose a word to see its numbered path. Coordinates start at row 1, column 1, at the top left.
MYTHOLOGICAL: r8c1 → r7c1 → r6c1 → r5c1 → r4c1 → r4c2 → r4c3 → r4c4 → r4c5 → r5c5 → r6c5 → r6c6
Strands #960 uses the clue “It's all Greek to me.” The theme words are DEITY, DRYAD, FATES, FURIES, MUSES, NYMPH and SATYR, and the spangram MYTHOLOGICAL ties them together, running from left to right and touching both edges, as every spangram must. The puzzle is edited by Tracy Bennett.
Where they sit: DEITY (top right), DRYAD (top left), FATES (bottom right), FURIES (middle left), MUSES (bottom left), NYMPH (top right) and SATYR (top left). One possible approach is to look for a short theme word first; word length does not determine how easy it is to spot.
