The answers to today's Strands, game #281, are WRAP PSALM GNOME HONESTY 
MNEMONIC KNUCKLE SPANGRAM: SILENT LETTER My rating: Hard My score: 2 hints

that todays Strands was about sounds; instead Noisey and Noise just helped 
get closer to a hint  something that was much needed with today's SILENT

Strands setters, pterodactyl style  but then I connected the Spangram snake, 
untwisted my knickers and all was good with the world.
