The answers to today's Strands, game #217, are BACON CHICKEN TOMATO 
VINAIGRETTE GREENS EGGS SPANGRAM: COBBSALAD My rating: Moderate My score: 
Perfect 

I presume there might be a split between people in the US and those in the 
rest of the world here. Or maybe it's only me that had not really heard of a 
COBBSALAD and therefore struggled to solve this one. I was also very confused 
by the theme clue of 'Got any bleu cheese?', which made me think it was 
something French  because otherwise why is it spelled 'bleu' and not 'blue'. 
So the whole thing was a bit baffling. 

I solved it in the end, but it was really just a case of trial and error. I 
spotted BACON early on, and CHICKEN too, so I realized it was a food-themed 
puzzle. The others took me a while to find, and getting the spangram was 
entirely based on there being nothing else it could be by the time that I got 
it. Not the most satisfying game for me  though if you know and like Cobb 
Salad (which to me sounds disgusting) then maybe you'll have been fine with 
it. Ho hum.
