The answers to today's Strands, game #77, are EYES FIRE SKULL ROSE SPARKLES 
BOUQUET STARSTRUCK SPANGRAM: EMOJIS My rating: Easiest word puzzle in the 
history of word puzzles My score: Perfect 

I don't really get what the point of this was. The theme is a good one; 
emojis are fun, I use them often, they make for a good Strands puzzle. But, 
but, but, BUT, BUT why give away the answers in the theme clue? Why, Mr and 
Mrs NYT, would you do that? The entire game simply because an exercise in 
saying what you see. There were ways to avoid this. Maybe just have one emoji 
as the clue, and challenge people to find various emoji words in the grid. 
But this was so easy as to be pointless. 

As you might expect, I spotted EMOJIS, the spangram, immediately, then ticked 
off the others one by one with a minimum of fuss. The whole thing took me 
about one minute. One minute I'll never get back.
