Strands #328
“Seeing double”
🔵🔵🔵🟡
💡🔵🔵
Hi Strands fans. A really creative puzzle today, but I was hobbled by one of the answers being something I'm completely unfamiliar with.
The theme - "Seeing double" - was initially baffling, until I noticed the huge number of duplicate letters side by side. On a hunch, I connected SUCCEED along the bottom, and had it confirmed: this was a puzzle about words with at least two sets of double letters involved.
With that in mind, I found BALLOON above it and then COFFEE to its left. That made it easy to connect LETTERS for the spangram immediately above it.
If I've got this far without using a clue, it's usually a sign that I'm home and dry, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how the top half of the grid could contain only two answers. So, reluctantly, I used a clue which revealed COMMITTEE.
That left the anagram of LIWRLOOPIHPW to decode, and I was clueless. But after a lot of trial and error, I got it right with WHIPPOORWILL - which is a word I've never heard of. Suffice it say, that isn't a word we use much on my side of the Atlantic.
