Today's Strands, Broken Down
Today's Strands was a little tricky thanks to its uniqueness. It only had five words, each lengthy, including the spangram. The spangram was the first to catch my eye, followed by BLOCKAGE and OVERCROWDING. The final two words? A slight struggle, but I eventually found CONGESTION and GRIDLOCK. Traffic is a total pain, isn't it?
